Q.2. A biologist studied the population of mice in a particular area. He found that the average natality was 500, average mortality 480, immigration 40 and emigration 60. The net increase in population is

(a) 10 (b) 30
(c) 0 (d) 20

Answer
(c): The increase in population size is
Natality + Immigration= 500 +40 = 540
The population decline is
Mortality + Emigration = 480 + 60 = 540
Thus, net increase in population = 540 – 540 = 0

Q.4. A protozoan reproduces by binary fission. What will be the number of protozoans in its population after four generations?

(a) 16 (b) 32
(c) 64 (d) 8

Answer
(a): By binary fission, an individual protozoan will divide in two. In this way after four generation their number will be 16

 

Q.5.  Select the type of biotic interactions with example, in which one of the interacting species is benefited while other remains unaffected.

(a) Commensalism- Epiphyte on mango branch
(b) Mutualism- Orchid Ophrys and bee
(c) Amensalism- Balanus and Chthamalus
(d) Parasitism – Ticks on dogs

Answer
(a): In commensalism one of the interacting species is benefitted while other remains unaffected. In mutualism both the interacting species are benefitted, amensalism one of the interacting species is harmed while other remains unaffected. parasitism one of the interacting species is benefitted whereas other is harmed.

 

Q.6. Which of the following is the correct example of positive interaction in a population?

(a) Adamsia – Hermit crab
(b) Plasmodium – Mosquito
(c) Sacculina – Crab
(d) Wuchereria – Man

Answer
(a)

 

Q.7. Which of the following shows Verhulst-Pearl logistic growth?

(a) dN/dt= rN (K-N)/K
(b) dN/dt= rN
(c) Nt= N0ert
(d) rN K-N/K

Answer
(a): Verhulst Pearl logistic growth is described by
dN/dt = rn(K – N/K)
Where N is population density at time t , r intrinsic rate of natural increase and K is carrying capacity.

 

Q.8. In which of the following types of interactions both the interacting organisms are harmed?

(a) Parasitism (b) Protocooperation
(c) Mutualism (d) Competition

Answer
(d)

 

Q.9. In the exponential growth equation Nt = N0ert, e represents

(a) the base of geometric logarithms
(b) the base of number logarithms
(c) the base of exponential logarithms
(d) the base of natural logarithms.

Answer
(d): In the exponential growth equation, Nt = N0ert. Here e is base of natural logarithms (2.71828).

 

Q.10. Inspite of interspecific competition in nature, which mechanism the competing species might have evolved for their survival?

(a) Predation
(b) Resource partitioning
