In which of the following mechanisms fertile offsprings are not produced as a result of mating between groups?

  1. Geographical isolation

  2. Mechanical isolation

  3. Temporal isolation

  4. Hybrid sterility

  5. Behavioral isolation

  6. Both C and D

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
F Correct answer
Explanation

Abnormal distributions to the gametes of whole chromosomes, chromosome segments or combinations of genes lead to hybrid sterility. Geographical, mechanical, temporal and behavioral isolations are pre zygotic barriers and prevent mating between groups by one or other means and hybrid is not produced. Thus, the correct answer is D.

Biogenetic law/recapitulation theory was proposed by 

  1. Wallace

  2. Lamarck

  3. Haeckel

  4. Mendel

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

The biogenetic law is a hypothesis of improvement and advancement proposed by Ernst Haeckel in Germany during the 1860s. It is one of a few summarization speculations, which set that the phases of advancement for a creature fetus are equivalent to other creatures' grown-up stages.

So, the correct option is 'Haeckel'.

A true species consists of a population which 

  1. Share the same niche

  2. Interbreed

  3. Feed over the same food

  4. Reproductively isolated

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Reproductive isolation prevents members of different species from producing offsprings or ensures that any offspring are sterile. These barriers maintain the integrity of a species by reducing gene flow between related species. So, the correct answer is "Reproductively isolated".

The evolution of a species is based upon sum total of adaptive changes preserved by 

  1. Natural selection

  2. Isolation

  3. Speciation

  4. Human conversation

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

A) Darwin's characteristic choice is the procedure by which nature remunerates those people betters adjust to their surroundings with survival and regenerative achievement. It works at the dimension of qualities, areas of DNA that encode for proteins filled in as the product of life. 

B) The instrument of regenerative detachment is a gathering of developmental components, practices and physiological procedures basic for speculation. They keep individuals from various species from delivering posterity or guarantee that any posterity is sterile. 

C) Speciation is the developmental procedure by which populaces advanced to end ups particular species. 

D) Human Conversation is the intelligent correspondence between at least two individuals.

So, the correct option is 'Isolation'.

Who gave the principle that population tends to multiply more rapidly than food supply?

  1. Darwin

  2. Malthus

  3. Lamarck

  4. Haldane

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Thomas Malthus, in full Thomas Robert Malthus, (conceived February 13/14, 1766, Rookery, close Dorking, Surrey, England), English market analyst and demographer who is best known for his hypothesis that populace development will constantly will in general beat the sustenance supply.

So, the correct option is 'Malthus'.

A very important factor of a new species in evolution is 

  1. Extensive inbreeding

  2. Extensive outbreeding

  3. Reproductive isolation

  4. Immigration

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

A subpopulation becomes reproductively isolated from its parental population. It is the formation of species without geographical isolation and these species are called sympatric speciation.

So, the correct answer is 'Reproductive Isolation'

Choose the correct answers from the alternatives given.
Which of the following did not support the theory of evolution ?

  1. Darwin

  2. Cuvier

  3. Lamarck

  4. Hugo de Vries

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

According to Curvier, the Earth went through sudden changes, each of which could wipe out a number of species.  The causes may include asteroids, volcanoes, or relatively fast changes in sea level. These extinctions mark some of the great transitions in life when new groups of species got the opportunity to take over the niches of old ones.

so correct option is B, Cuvier.

Haeckel's recapitulation theory/biogenetic law states

  1. Ontogeny repeats phylogeny

  2. High rate of reproduction

  3. Alternation of generations

  4. Inheritance of acquired characters

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

From the biogenetic law or embryological parallelism often communicated utilizing Ernst Haeckel's expression "ontogeny restates phylogeny"is an authentic speculation that the advancement of the developing life of a creature, from preparation to incubation or bring forth (ontogeny), experiences stages taking after or speaking to progressive stages in the advancement of the creature's remote precursors (phylogeny).

So, the correct option is 'Ontogeny repeats phylogeny'.

Choose the correct answers from the alternatives given.
Natural selection is best defined as occurring when the environment causes

  1. differential mortality

  2. assortative mating

  3. a reduced gene pool

  4. differential success in reproduction

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

The organism that is better adapted to the environment and hence, can produce more of its type is selected. Its population eventually grows and the other one is wiped out. Over long periods, this can even give rise to speciation i.e. formation of new species.

Hence, the correct answer is 'differential success in reproduction'
