Free Organisms And Populations (Daily Quiz: 2) NEET Biology Questions & Answers with Detailed Explanation & Full Review

Free Organisms And Populations (Daily Quiz: 2) Time:

Question-1

Two different species cannot live for long duration in the same niche or habitat. This law is

(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)

Explanation:

Answer: (c)

Interspecific competition is rivalry amongst members of different species. The severity of competition depends upon similarity in the requirement of food and shelter. Every type of organism has a particular niche, no two organisms can live in same niche. One of the two is eliminated. This phenomenon is called Gause hypothesis of competitive exclusion.


Question-2

Niche is

(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)

Explanation:

Answer: (d)

Niche is specific part of habitat occupied by individuals of a species which is circumscribed by its range of tolerance, range of movement, microclimate, etc. Hence, niche refers to the functional role played by the organism where it lives.


Question-3

Assertion :
Predation is a type of interspecific interaction with a strategy based on feeding.
Reason :
A stable population is maintained through time by the populations of predator and their prey and rarely one population becomes abundant or scarce.

(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)

Explanation:

Answer: (b)

The interaction between predator and prey is interspecific. Predator population usually depends upon the number of prey which in turn is controlled by predators.


Question-4

Logistic growth occurs when there is

(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)

Explanation:

Answer: (c)

Logistic growth models have fixed carrying capacity due to limited number of resources.

It is described by the equation

${dN}/{dt} = rN ({K - N}/K)$

N = Population density at time t

r = Intrinsic rate of natural increase

K = Carrying capacity.


Question-5

When there is a large number of post-reproductive or older individuals and lesser number of pre reproductive individuals then that population is

(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)

Explanation:

Answer: (a)

A population with a large number of post-reproductive or older individuals and lesser number of pre-reproductive individuals will show a negative growth rate or decline growth
