A | B | C | D | |
1. | (iv) | (ii) | (iii) | (i) |
2. | (iii) | (iv) | (ii) | (i) |

The process where a population inhibits the growth of other population without affecting itself is known as
(1) Amensalism
(2) Parasitism
(3) Mutualism
(4) Commensalism
Which of the following is not a factor that would limit the growth of a population?
(1) Food shortage
(2) Immigration
(3) Disease
(4) Famine
The graph shows two types of population growth curve. A is exponential and B is logistic.
Which one of the following growth model considered as more realistic one?
1. Exponential growth curve
2. Logistic growth curve
3. Both the growth curves
4. None of the above
Resemblance of one organism with its surroundings for protection and hiding is
(1) mimicry
(2) predation
(3) adaptation
(4) camouflage
Birth rate = B | Death Rate = D |
Emigration = E | Immigration = I |
Column-I | Column-II |
A. Population is stable | I. B + I > D + E |
B. Population is increasing | II. B + I = D + E |
C. Population is decreasing | III. B + I < D + E |
IV. B + E > D + I |
(1) A - II, B - I, C – III
(2) A - II, B - IV, C - III
(3) A - III, B - IV, C – I
(4) A - I, B - II, C - IV
If the age distribution (percent individuals of a given age or age group) is plotted for population, the resulting structure is called:
(1) Survivorship curve
(2) Life table
(3) Age pyramid
(4) Logistic model
The age distribution of a population is determined by:
(1) Timing of birth
(2) Timing of death
(3) The rate at which the population is growing
(4) All are correct
What four factors define population growth?
1. Births; deaths, immigration, emigration
2. Survivorship, age-specific mortality, fecundity, death rate
3. Mark-recapture, census, quadrate sampling, transects
4. Age-specific birth rate, metapopulation structure, quadrate, ecotone
