Assertion(A): | A population that fits the logistic growth model increases more rapidly at intermediate size rather than at relatively small and large sizes. |
Reason (R): | The population growth rate decreases dramatically as the population size approaches the carrying capacity. |
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): | India’s population is set to overtake China’s population by 2025. |
Reason(R): | The birth rate in china is decreasing while it is increasing in India. |

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): | Age-structure pyramids for the population of a country not only predict a population’s growth trends but can also illuminate social conditions. |
Reason (R): | These pyramids show the distribution of various age groups in a population, typically that of a country or region of the world. |
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): | Ecologically similar species can coexist in a community if one or more significant differences in their niches arise through time. |
Reason (R): | Two species cannot coexist permanently in a community if their niches are identical. |
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): | The adaptations of both predators and prey tend to be refined through natural selection. |
Reason (R): | Predation provides energy to prolong life and promote the reproduction of the organism that does the killing, the predator, to the detriment of the organism being consumed, the prey. |
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): | Apex predators help in maintaining species diversity in a community. |
Reason (R): | Apex predators are often keystone species. |
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): | Milkweeds are particularly favoured as their food by most herbivores. |
Reason (R): | Milkweeds produce cardiac glycosides that are very good for the heart of herbivores. |
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): | The newly acquired predators and parasites are often more damaging than the older ones. |
Reason (R): | The older ones are familiar and the species getting affected have adjusted. |
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): | Mammals with smaller body size find thermoregulation more challenging than those with larger body size. |
Reason (R): | Mammals with smaller body size are ectotherms and mammals with larger body size are endotherms. |
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). |
