Which of the following was the novel insight of Darwin in his theory?
(1) Variations are heritable and make resource utilisation better for few will enable only those to reproduce and leave more progeny
(2) Population size will grow exponentially if everybody reproduced maximally.
(3) Natural resources are limited yet populations are stable in size except for seasonal fluctuations.
(4) Members of populations vary in characteristics.
Two peaks will be observed in which of the operation of natural selection?
(1) Disruptive
(2) Directional
(3) Stabilising
(4) Both A and B
Peak getting higher and narrower is observed in which of the operation of natural selection?
(1) Disruptive
(2) Directional
(3) Stabilising
(4) Both A and B

(1) 494
(2) 256
(3) 128
(4) 356
If in a given population number of individuals with dominant phenotype are 60% what will be the number of heterozygote in that population?
(1) Around 23%
(2) Around 46%
(3) 26%

If more individuals acquire peripheral character value at both the ends of the distribution curve; in such case natural selection has resulted in
(1) Stabilization
(2) Directional
(3) Disruption
(4) May be B or C depending upon population parameters

(2) Not known
(3) Mutation
(4) Recombination
