Which of the following process is responsible for inheritance during natural selection?
Darwin's finches are an example of
Which of the following defines the relation between adaptive radiation and natural selection?
Warrior ants have a chemical signal that tells other ants in the family not to attack. Some have adapted and learned to imitate the chemical signal from other colonies so they can invade and take over another colony and the workers will never know. The given example can be related to
Maximum ............ increase the chance of survival.
Which of the following is considered during natural selection?
In a habitat, there are red bugs and green bugs. The birds prefer the taste of the red bugs, so soon there are many green bugs and few red bugs. The green bugs reproduce and make more green bugs and eventually there are no more red bugs. The given example can be related to
The species which were not able to adapt to their environments through genetic changes to their skeletons were not able to survive. The given statement is an example of
Which of the following has a natural selection as principle mechanism?
The animals having several adaptation and are able to adapt is given by theory of
The peppered moths rested became blackened by soot, giving the dark-coloured moths
Peacock females pick their mate according to the males tail. The ones with the largest and brightest tails mate more often. The given example can be related to
A total of 12 bird species having distinct diets, behavior, coloration and beak shapes inhabit a large volcanic island in the South Atlantic 500 miles from the Coast of Africa not found on the mainland. Two species are flightless herbivores. A bird found on the mainland is related to these bird species but it does not fly over water but can occasionally survive at sea in a storm. There are no reptiles, mammals or amphibians on the island, although there are many insect and plant species.

The adaptation shown by the bacterium Pseudomonas for metabolization of nylon is an example of
Read the following statements and select the correct option.
(i) Increase in melanised moths after industrialisation in Great Britain is a proof for natural selection.
(ii) When more individuals of a population acquire a mean character value, it is called disruption
(iii) Changes in allelic frequency in a population will lead to Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium.
(iv) Genetic drift changes the existing gene or allelic frequency in future generations.

Choose the correct answers from the alternatives given.
The offspring of better-adapted individuals are expected to make up a larger proportion of the next generation. The.most likely explanation is
The peppered moth used to be a light colour with black spots. When the atmosphere in London became filled with soot because of the Industrial Revolution, the white trees became darker and light coloured moths were eaten by birds more readily. Within months, moths became darker and lighter moths were rare. After the Industrial revolution, light coloured moths were found in greater numbers. The given example can be related to
