All species have evolved to adopt the most effective reproductive strategy for themselves. For example, pelagic fish produce:
1. a large number of small-sized offspring
2. a small number of small-sized offspring
3. a large number of large-sized offspring
4. a small number of large-sized offspring
Consider the given two statements
Assertion (A): | The female Anopheles mosquito is not considered a parasite. |
Reason (R): | Only the male Anopheles mosquitoes bite and spread diseases in humans. |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) correctly explains (A). |
2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) does not correctly explain (A). |
3. | (A) is True, (R) is False. |
4. | (A) is False, (R) is False. |
I: | Parasites that feed on the external surface of the host organism are called ectoparasites. |
II: | Anopheles is an ectoparasite. |
III: | The life cycles of endoparasites are more complex because of their extreme specialisation. |
1. | predators | 2. | parasites |
3. | commensals | 4. | decomposers |
Statement I: | Most birds and mammals breed many times during their lifetime. |
Statement II: | Most birds and mammals produce a small number of large sized offspring. |
I: | One petal of its flower bears an uncanny resemblance to the female of the pollinator bee in size, colour and markings. |
II: | The orchid flower co-evolves to maintain the resemblance of its petal to the female bee. |
I: | Predation |
II: | Commensalism |
III: | Parasitism |
