Darwin’s finches represent:
1. Morphological variations
2. Geographical isolations
3. Climate variations
4. Reproductive isolation
Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium is known to be affected by gene flow, genetic drift, mutation, genetic recombination and:
1. evolution
2. limiting factors
3. saltation
4. natural selection
Which one of the following in birds indicates their reptilian ancestry?
1. | Scales on their heart |
2. | Four-chambered heart |
3. | Two special chambers crop and grizzlies in their digestive tract |
4. | Egg with a calcareous shell |
Darwinism explains all the following except:
1. Within each species, there is variation
2. Organisms tend to produce more offspring than can survive
3. Offspring with better traits that overcome competition are best suited for the environment
4. Variations are inherited from parents to offspring through genes
Theory of pangenesis was given by:
1. Darwin
2. Lamarck
3. Hugo de Vries
4. Oparin
Which of the following is not true for a species?
1. Members of a species interbreed
2. Variations occur among members of species
3. Each species is reproductively isolated from every other species
4. Gene flow does not occur between the populations of a species
The diversity in the type of beaks of finches adapted to different feeding habits on the Galapagos islands, as observed by Darwin, provides evidence for:
1. origin of species by natural selection
2. intraspecific variations
3. intraspecific competition
4. interspecific competition
Age of fishes is also known as:
1. Permian Era
2. Silurian Era
3. Devonian Era
4. Ordovician Era
1. | Hyenas and wolves will become scarce. |
2. | Its gene pool will be lost forever |
3. | The wild areas will be safe for man and domestic |
4. | The population of beautiful animals like deer will get stabilized |
Variations caused by mutation, as proposed by Hugo de Vries, are:
1. | small and directionless | 2. | random and directional |
3. | random and directionless | 4. | small and directional |
