1. High reproductive capacity
2. Simple life cycle and complex morphological, anatomical features
3. Loss of unnecessary sense organs
4. Loss of digestive system
Read the following statements and choose the correct option
Statement 1 : The success of mammals is largely due to their ability to maintain a constant body temperature.
Statement 2 : Majority of the animals and nearly all plants cannot maintain a constant internal environment.
1. Only statement 1 is correct.
2. Only statement 2 is correct.
3. Both statements are correct.
4. Both statements are incorrect.
In nature, a given habitat has enough resources to support a maximum possible number, beyond which no further growth is possible. The limit is known as
1. Environmental resistance
2. Intrinsic rate of natural increase
3. Carrying capacity
4. Exponentially growth
Which the following pairs is wrongly matched while remaining three are correct
1. Allen’s rule – Mammals with shorter ears and limbs in colder area
2. Expanding population – High number of individual at pre-reproductive stage
3. Population density increasing – (B + I) < (D + E)
4. Carrying capacity – Logistic growth.

Geometric representation of age structure is a characteristic of:
1. Biotic community
2. Population
3. Landscape
4. Ecosystem
What type of human population is represented by the following age pyramid?
According to Darwin, organic evolution is due to:
1. | Interspecific competition. |
2. | Competition within closely related species. |
3. | Reduced feeding efficiency in one species due to the presence of interfering species. |
4. | Intraspecific competition. |
State True (T) or False (F) for the following statements and select the correct option
