Assertion (A): The logistic growth model is considered a more realistic model for most animal populations in natural environmental conditions.
Reason (R): Most animals are capable of showing active locomotion.
 
1. Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) correctly explains (A)
2. Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) does not correctly explain (A)
3. (A) is True, (R) is False
4. (A) is False, (R) is False

In an ecological context, competition occurs when:
1. Two species mutually benefit from interacting with each other.
2. Individuals of different species require the same resources that are in limited supply.
3. One species benefits at the expense of another species.
4. Individuals of the same species cooperate to fend off predators.

An example of mutualism between plants and insect pollinators will be:
1. Bees pollinate flowers while obtaining nectar, which is their food source.
2. Flowers provide shelter to insects, and insects provide nothing in return.
3. Insects eat parts of the flower, which helps the plant reproduce.
4. Plants capture and digest insects to obtain nutrients.
