Assertion(A): | Natural selection is the outcome of difference in survival and reproduction among individual that have shown variation in one or more traits. |
Reason(R): | Adaptive forms of a given trait to become more common. Less adaptive ones become less common or disappear. |
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). |
3. | (A) is true but (R) is false. |
4. | Both (A) and (R) are false. |
Assertion(A): | Fitness is the end result of ability to adapt and get selected by nature. |
Reason(R): | Some organisms are better adapted to survive in an otherwise hostile environment. |
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). |
3. | (A) is true but (R) is false. |
4. | Both (A) and (R) are false. |
Assertion(A): | Branching descent and natural selection are the two key concepts of Darwinian theory. |
Reason(R): | Hardy-Weinberg's equilibrium is not affected by Darwinian natural selection. |
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). |
3. | (A) is true but (R) is false. |
4. | Both (A) and (R) are false. |
(i) | Diversifying (disruptive) selection is a mode of natural selection that favours variants of opposite extremes over intermediate forms |
(ii) | In the evolution of life on Earth, the early primitive cells that were present must have obtained their energy by glycolysis and fermentation |
(iii) | Darwin's theory of evolution was highly influenced by the Mendel's crossing experiments with peas |
(iv) | Hardy-Weinberg's principle can be used to interpret whether evolution has occurred in a population or not |
(v) | The half-life of carbon-14 is approximately 5730 years |
Assertion (A): | According to Darwin, fitness means reproductive fitness. |
Reason (R): | Those who are a better fit in the environment will leave more progenies. |
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). |
3. | (A) is true, but (R) is false. |
4. | (A) is false, but (R) is true. |
Assertion (A): | As per Darwin, over many generations, survivors will leave more progenies. |
Reason (R): | Survivors have variations that make resource utilization better for them. |
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). |
3. | (A) is true, but (R) is false. |
4. | (A) is false, but (R) is true. |
