23
(160)Answer : (2)
YM
Hint:
Darwin and Wallace talked about this phenomenon.
(O
Solution:
After industrialisation set in, tree trunks became darker in colour due to deposition of smoke and soot and due
to absence of pollution sensitive lichens. As a result, the white winged (non-melanic) moths could not
camouflage themselves and therefore were predated upon by the birds. This resulted in increase in number of
black-winged moths.
(161)Answer : (1)
Solution:
Wombat, Bandicoot and Spotted cuscus are Australian marsupials whereas Bobcat is a placental mammal.
(162)Answer : (4)

Vestigeal organs are remnants of organs which were complete and functional in our ancestors.
(166)Answer : (4)
Hint:
Non-selective mating in a population.
Solution:
Gene migration, genetic drift, mutation, natural selection, all can change gene frequency of population and can
cause evolution. Non-random mating can also change gene frequency of a population. Random mating can
keep gene frequency constant in a non evolutionary population.
(167)Answer : (1)
Hint:
Hardy Weinberg equilibrium.
Solution:
Frequency of recessive allele i.e. q = 0.8
Frequency of dominant allele i.e. p = 1 – 0.8 = 0.2
∴ Frequency of homozygous dominant individuals (AA)
= p2 = (0.2)2 = 0.04
Frequency of heterozygous individual (Aa) = 2pq
= 2(0.2) (0.8) = 0.32
Frequency of homozygous recessive individual (aa)
= q2 = (0.8)2 = 0.64
(168)Answer : (2)
Solution:
Genetic drift occurs in small isolated populations as frequency of alleles cannot change suddenly in a large
population.

(179)Answer : (1)
Solution:
Homologous organs show divergent evolution and analogous organs show convergent evolution.
(180)Answer : (4)
Hint:
Evolution due to human activities

Industrial melanism leads to selection of dark winged moth due to their ability to camouflage with the dark tree
trunks. Examples of evolution by anthropogenic action include selection of varieties resistant to herbicides and
pesticides, selection of resistant bacterial strains due to excessive usage of antibiotics.

Solution:
Homologous structures show divergent evolution. Analogous structures show convergent evolution. Atavism is
sudden reappearance of ancestral characters.
20
(195)Answer : (1)
Hint:
Organs having similar basic structure.
Solution:
Forelimbs of whale, bat, cheetah and man have similar basic structures and have common origin so, they are
considered as homologous organs and show divergent evolution; Organs with different structure but same
function are called analogous organs showing convergent evolution.
(196)Answer : (4)
Hint:
Examples of adaptive radiation
Solution:
Darwin’s finches name is given to different species of a bird studied by Darwin on Galapagos Islands and
show adaptive radiation; Anthropogenic action is use of different chemicals or any other activity by humans
