1)Variations can be defined as the variations in DNA sequences. It makes

one organism different from the other organism. Variations are essential
for natural selection. Variations in a species of an organism helps to adapt
in the environment, it also prevents the extinction of a species.

3)Analogous organ:
1. Analogous organs are the organs of different animals having different
anatomy but doing similar functions or physiology.
2. Example: Wings of butterfly and flies, Flippers of dolphin and penguin.
3. They are a result of convergent evolution.
4. This situation occurs when two groups of largely unrelated organisms are
exposed to very similar environments and develop similar adaptations to
survive.
5. For example, the ability to fly has evolved in both bats and insects as they
both have wings, which are adaptations to flight but they differ in shape and
size.

4)Soil pollution is said to occur if the soil becomes

unfit for plant production. Prolonged soil pollution
may cause an imbalance in the ecosystem as the
soil is a major part of the environment. The
programs to prevent soil pollution in the view of
pesticides include
● Implementing Biopesticides and manures :
Agrochemical pesticides are more toxic in nature
which promotes soil infertility. Biopesticides
produce a minimal risk to the soil thereby
enhancing their productivity.
● Promoting Organic Farming :
Organic farming promotes the usage of organic
manures. It improves the quality of soil and
biodiversity.
● Proper disposal of solid wastes :
Biochemical wastes get accumulated in the food
chains and degrade the soil fertility. Improper
disposal of solid waste may lead to
biomagnification in which the toxic substances get
accumulated in the tertiary trophic level of the food
chain.
