| 1. | Flippers of penguins and dolphins are a pair of homologous organs. | 
| 2. | Analogous structures are a result of convergent evolution. | 
| 3. | Sweet potato and potato is an example of analogy. | 
| 4. | Homology indicates common ancestry. | 
Genetic Drift occurs due to : 
1. Natural selection 
2. Sudden population migration 
3. Continuous gene migration 
4. Mutation 
Select the correct match regarding adaptive radiation of Australian marsupials corresponding to placental mammals 
1. Numbat-Flying Squirrel 
2. Tasmanian Wolf - Bobcat 
3. Marsupial mouse- Mole 
4. Spotted Cuscus - Lemur
| 1. | Sympatric | 
| 2. | Undergoing disruptive selection | 
| 3. | Allopatric | 
| 4. | Not geographically separated | 
| Assertion(A): | Analogous structures are a result of convergent evolution | 
| Reason(R): | More than one adaptive radiation appeared to have occurred in an isolated geographical area, is the convergent evolution | 
| 1. | Both (A) & (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A) | 
| 2. | Both (A) & (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A) | 
| 3. | (A) is true but (R) is false | 
| 4. | Both (A) and (R) are false statements | 
| 1. | If operates in large populations | 
| 2. | If always eliminates favourable allele from a population. | 
| 3. | If work in opposite to natural selection | 
| 4. | If can not fix non-adaptive trait in a population | 
| Assertion(A): | Ginkgo biloba is living fossil. | 
| Reason(R): | Organism which have persisted and remain unchanged for the past several million years while their relatives disappeared. | 
| 1. | Both (A) & (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A) | 
| 2. | Both (A) & (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A) | 
| 3. | (A) is true but (R) is false | 
| 4. | Both (A) and (R) are false | 
| A. | New species evolve when one (or) more population of a species becomes separated from the other population of the species due to geographical barrier | 
| B. | Small groups of individuals break off from the larger group and form a new species | 
| C. | Over the time, cessation of the gene flow between geographically isolated population leads to the reproductive isolation | 
| D. | The initial stage of allopatric speciation is polymorphism that does not depend on space within a population | 
| E. | As a result of natural selection, geographically separate population become adapted to local conditions and thus they are genetically differentiated |
