| 1. | All the biological factors in the organism environment |
| 2. | The physical space where an organism lives |
| 3. | The range of temperature that the organism needs to live |
| 4. | The functional role played by the organism where it lives |
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 |

| A. | Migratory flamingoes and resident fish in South American lakes | I. | Interference competition |
| B. | Abingdon tortoise became extinct after introduction of goats in their habitat | II. | Competitive release |
| C. | Chathamalus expands its distributional range in the absence of Balanus | III. | Resource partitioning |

| 1. | 'a' represents exponential growth when responses are not limiting the growth; and 'b' represents logistic growth when responses are limiting the growth. |
| 2. | 'a' represents logistic growth when responses are not limiting the growth; 'b' represents exponential growth when responses are limiting the growth. |
| 3. | 'a' represents carrying capacity and 'b' shows logistic growth when responses are limiting the growth. |
| 4. | 'a' represents exponential growth when responses are not limiting the growth and 'b' shows carrying capacity. |
| Assertion (A): | Connell's elegant field experiment showed that on the rocky sea, the larger and competitively superior barnacles dominate the intertidal area and exclude the smaller barnacles from that area. |
| Reason (R): | Generally, herbivores and plants appear to be more adversely affected by competition than carnivores. |
| 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. |

Carnivorous animals - lions and leopards, occupy the same niche but lions predate mostly larger animals and leopards take smaller ones. This mechanism of competition is referred to as:
| 1. | Character displacement | 2. | Altruism |
| 3. | Resource partitioning | 4. | Competitive exclusion |
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 |
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. |
