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.

Given below are two statements : One is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).
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.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
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.
