Evolution of heart from one to two, three and four chambered proves:
1. Biogenetic law of Haeckel
2. Lamarckism
3. Hardy weinberg's law
4. Neo Darwinism
Genetic drift mainly takes place in:
1. Small population
2. Large population
3. Oceanic population
4. Never occurs
In present times, the origin of life is not possible from inorganic compounds due to:
1. Non-availability of raw material
2. High concentration of O2 in the atmosphere
3. Decrease in temperature
4. Excess of pollution
On Galapagos island, Darwin observed variation in beaks of birds (Darwin's finches) and he concluded:
1. Inter species variation
2. Intraspecies variation
3. Natural selection according to food
4. Inheritance of acquired characters
Two opposite forces operate in the growth and development of every population. One of them is related to the ability to reproduce at a given rate. The force opposite to it is called:
1. Fecundity
2. Environmental resistances
3. Biotic control
4. Mortality
The age of fossils in the past was generally determined by the radio-carbon method and other methods involving radioactive elements found in the rocks. More precise methods, which were used recently and led to the revision of the evolutionary periods for different groups of organisms include:
1. Study of the conditions of fossilization
2. Electron spin resonance (ESR) & fossil DNA
3. Study of carbohydrates/proteins in rocks
4. Study of carbohydrates/proteins in fossils
What kind of evidence suggested that man is more closely related to chimpanzees than to other hominoid apes?
1. | Comparison of chromosome morphology only |
2. | Evidence from fossil remains and the fossil mitochondrial DNA alone |
3. | Evidence from DNA extracted from sex chromosomes, autosomes & mitochondria |
4. | Evidence from DNA from sex chromosomes only |
The most likely reason for the development of resistance against pesticides in insects damaging a crop is:
1. Genetic recombination
2. Directed mutations
3. Acquired heritable changes
4. Random mutations
Diversification in plant life appeared:
1. Due to abrupt mutations
2. Suddenly on earth
3. By seed dispersal
4. Due to long periods of evolutionary changes
According to Oparin, which one of the following was not present in the primitive atmosphere of the earth?
1. Oxygen
2. Hydrogen
3. Water vapour
4. Methane
