An association of individuals of different species living in the same habitat and having functional interactions is known as:
1. | Ecological niche | 2. | Biotic community |
3. | Ecosystem | 4. | Population |
In which of the following interactions both partners are adversely affected?
1. | Competition | 2. | Predation |
3. | Parasitism | 4. | Mutualism |
The following graph depicts changes in two populations (A and B) of herbivores in a grassy field. A possible reason for these changes is that:
1. | both plant populations in this habitat decreased |
2. | population-B competed more successfully for food than population-A |
3. | population-A produced more offspring than population-B |
4. | population-A consumed the members of population-B |
Just as a person moves from Delhi to Shimla to escape the heat for the duration of hot summer, thousands of migratory birds from Siberia and other extremely cold northern regions move to:
1. Western Ghat
2. Meghalaya
3. Corbett National Park
4. Keoladeo National Park
A sedentary sea anemone gets attached to the shell lining of a hermit crab. The association is:
1. Symbiosis
2. Commensalism
3. Amensalism
4. Ectoparasitism
A biologist studied the population of rats in a barn. He found that the average natality was 250, average mortality 240, immigration 20 and emigration 30. The net increase in population is:
1. | 15 | 2. | 05 |
3. | zero | 4. | 10 |
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. |
