Q. No.The equation of Verhulst-Pearl logisitic growth model is
\(\dfrac {dN}{dt}=rN \left[\dfrac {K-N}{K}\right ]\)
From this equation, K indicates:
1. Biotic potential
2. Carrying capacity
3. Population density
4. Intrinsic rate of natural increase
\(\dfrac {dN}{dt}=rN \left[\dfrac {K-N}{K}\right ]\)
From this equation, K indicates:
1. Biotic potential
2. Carrying capacity
3. Population density
4. Intrinsic rate of natural increase

Given below are two statements:
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
| Statement I: | Gause's competitive exclusion principle states that two closely related species competing for different resources cannot exist indefinitely. |

In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
| 1. | Both Statement I and Statement II are False. |
| 2. | Statement I is True but Statement II is False. |

Given below are two statements: One is labelled as
Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).
| Assertion (A): | The interaction, in which one species benefits and the other is neither harmed nor benefitted, is known as commensalism. |
| Reason (R): | Egrets always forage close to where the cattles are grazing, otherwise it is difficult for the egrets to find the insect and catch. |
| 1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
| 2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |

In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
| Assertion (A): | Connell's elegant field experiment showed that on the rocky sea, the larger and competitively superior barnacles dominate the intertidal area and exclude the smaller barnacles from that area. |
