Explanation

Answer 3. Mind the fact that the question is on intraspecific competition and not interspecific completion. When the population is at carrying capacity, the limited natural resources will lead to a strong competition.

Explanation

(d) There is a sort of 'arm race' between predator and prey where both evolve to achieve their goals. Moreover, a predator has to be prudent in killing the prey as well.

Explanation

 Commensalism is an association between organisms in which one or both the species are benefitted an neither species is harmed. In amensalism one species is harmed, whereas the other is unaffected. Predation, parasitism and commensalism share a common characteristic, the interacting species live closely together.

When does the growth rate of a population following the logistic model equal zero? The logistic model is given as dN/dt = rN(1-N/K)

Explanation

(d) In logistic growth model population growth equation is described as

             dN/dt = rN(K-N)/K

 where, N = Population density at time t

           r = Intrinsic rate of natural increase

          K = Carrying capacity

when, N/K = 1 then (K-N)/K = 0

Therefore, dN/dt = 0

An association of individuals of different species living in the same habitat and having functional interaction is called biotic community (biocoenosis). The biotic community is dominated by one of the character. It determines the nature of community. It can be biotic or abiotic.

(d) Every year in the season of winter the famous Indian National Park, Keolado  National Park situated in Bharatput, Rajasthan, host thousands of migratory birds coming from Siberia (Atlantic ocean) Central America and other extremely cold Northern region.

October to February is the best time to observe these migratory birds. Most of them stay till March including the Siberian Crane.

A biologist studied the population of rats in a barn. He found that the average natality was 250, average mortality 240, immigration 20 and emigration 30. The net increase in population is

Explanation

(b) Geometric representation of age structure is a characteristic of population. In most populations, individuals are of different ages. The proportion of individual in each age group is called age structure of that population.
