Q. No.Industrial melanism is an example of:
| 1. | Natural selection | 2. | Mutation |
| 3. | Racial difference | 4. | Predation |
In the case of peppered moth (Biston betularia), the black-coloured form became dominant over the light-coloured form in England during the industrial revolution. This is an example of:
| 1. | natural selection, whereby the darker forms were selected |
| 2. | appearance of the darker coloured individuals due to very poor sunlight |
| 3. | protective mimicry |
| 4. | inheritance of darker colour character acquired due to the darker environment |
Industrial melanism is an example of?
1. Neo Darwinism
2. Natural Selection
3. Mutation
4. Neo Lamarckism
Industrial melanism is an example of:
| 1. | Drug resistance |
| 2. | Darkening of the skin due to smoke from industries |
| 3. | Protective resemblance with the surroundings |
| 4. | Defensive adaptation of skin against ultraviolet radiations |
Industrial melanism as observed in peppered moths proves that:
| 1. | The true black melanic forms arise from a recurring natural selection |
| 2. | The melanic form of the moth has no selective advantage over the lighter form in an industrial area |
| 3. | The lighter-form moth has no selective advantage either in polluted industrial areas or non-polluted areas |
| 4. | Melanism is a pollution-generated feature |
Artificial selection to obtain cows yielding higher milk output represents:
| 1. | Directional, as it pushes the mean of the character in one direction |
| 2. | Disruptive, as it splits the population into two, one yielding higher output and the other lower output |
| 3. | Stabilizing followed by disruptive, as it stabilizes the population to produce higher-yielding cows |
| 4. | Stabilizing selection, as it stabilizes this character in the population |
Which of the following is used as an atmospheric pollution indicator?
| 1. | Lepidoptera | 2. | Lichens |
| 3. | Lycopersicon | 4. | Lycopodium |
1. Random change
2. Stabilising change
3. Directional change
4. Disruptive change
In a species, the weight of a newborn ranges from 2 to 5 kg. 97% of the newborns with an average weight between 3 to 3.3 kg survive whereas 99% of the infants born with weights from 2 to 2.5 kg or 4.5 kg to 5 kg die. Which type of selection process is taking place?
1. Cyclical selection
2. Directional selection
3. Stabilizing selection
4. Disruptive selection
