| A. | It is a process in which individuals with certain heritable traits survive and reproduce at a higher rate than do other individuals |
| B. | It is a process that occurs through interactions between individuals and their enviornment resulting in the evolution of individuals |
| C. | It is a process that can over time, increase the frequency of favourable adaptations in a given enviornment |
| D. | It is a process that disropts the adaptation of individuals to a new environment |
| E. | Natural selection may lead to speciation |
| Statement I : | When the two species are morphologically almost identical but do not normally interbreed, such species are sibling species. |
| Statement II: | A sub population becomes reproductively isolated in the midst of its parent population. This is allopatric speciation. |
| 1. | Both the statement I and statement II are true |
| 2. | Both statement I and statement II are false |
| 3. | Statement I is correct but statement II is false |
| 4. | Statement I is incorrect but statement II is true |
| List I | List II |
| A. Devonian period | I. First vertebrate and marine algae abundant |
| B. Pliocene period | II. Gymnosperms continue as dominant plants & first birds |
| C. Ordovician period | III. Diversification of bony fishes & first amphibian dominant |
| D. Jurassic period | IV. Ape like ancestors of human appear |
| A. | Individuals reproduce and thereby pass on the beneficial genes to offspring |
| B. | Fittest individuals survive in the population |
| C. | Within the population, individuals compete and struggle to survive |
| D. | Organisms overproduce off springs but not all survive |
| E. | Individuals acquire new traits due to mutations thereby creating genetic variation |
