Given below are two statements : one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A): Tribes living in high altitudes of Himalayas normally have a higher RBC count [or total haemoglobin] than people living in the plains.
Reason (R): In low atmospheric pressure of high altitudes, the hypoxic conditions lead to an increased production of RBCs by bone marrow.
 In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :
1. Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) explains (A).
2. (A) is true but (R) is false.
3. (A) is false but (R) is true.
4. Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) does not explain (A).

In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :
1. Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) explains (A).
2. Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) does not explain (A).

In an area, there are 200 carrot grass plants but only a single huge banyan tree with a large canopy.
I. The ecological role of the banyan tree in this community is negligible when compared to that of carrot grass.
II. In this community, the percent cover or biomass is a more meaningful measure of the population size.

1. Only I is correct
2. Only II is correct
3. Both I and II are correct
4. Both I and II are incorrect

Given below are two statements : one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A): The number of fish caught per trap is not a good measure of its total population density in the lake.
Reason (R): For ecological investigations, it is obligatory to count every individual in a population to estimate population density.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :
1. Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) does not explain (A).
2. Both (A) and (R) are False.

If ‘N’ is the population density at time ‘t’, then its density at time ‘t+1’ is:
I. Nt+1 = Nt + [(B+I) – (D+E)]
II. B is a measure of Natality and D is a measure of Mortality
III. If (B+I) is less than (D+E), the population density will increase

Given below are two statements : one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A): The logistic growth model is more realistic for most animal populations in nature.
Reason (R): Resources for growth for most animal populations are finite and become limiting sooner or later in the nature.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
1. (A) is True but (R) is False.
2. Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) correctly explains (A).
3. (A) is False but (R) is True.
