| Assertion(A): | After industrialization, dark winged moths became predominant over light winged moths. |
| Reason(R): | During post-industrialization period, the white coloured moths were spotted by predators against the contrasting background of tree-trunks. |
| 1. | Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A) |
| 2. | Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is not the correct explanation of (A) |
| 3. | (A) is true but (R) is false. |
| 4. | Both (A) and (R) are false. |
| Assertion(A): | Antibiotic resistance is increasing these days. |
| Reason(R): | Excessive use of antibiotics in a much lesser time scale has led to selection of resistant varieties. |

| 3. | (A) is true but (R) is false. |
| 4. | Both (A) and (R) are false. |
| Assertion(A): | Evolutions is process that operates in populations due to the lack of Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. |
| Reason(R): | Mutations, migration and natural selection cause disruption of equilibrium changing allele frequencies of the population. |
