What decides the frequency of an allele in a
population?
1. Dominance
2. Its location on a particular chromosome
3. Its degree of expression
4. Natural selection
According to Darwin, the organic evolution is due to
(1) Interspecific competition
(2) Competition within closely related species
(3) Reduced feeding efficiency in one species due to the presence of interfering species
(4) Intraspecific competition

Both Charles Darwin and A.R.Wallace were influenced by the:

For the stability of the organic compounds, Oparin opined that probably:
1. UV radiation never reached the surface of the primeval Earth
2. the primitive Earth was in a molten state
3. the primitive Earth atmosphere was reducing rather than oxidizing
4. plenty of energy sources were available for chemical reactions to occur
In Australia, marsupials and placental mammals have evolved to share many similar characteristics. This type of evolution may be referred to as:
| 1. | Adaptive Radiation | 2. | Divergent Evolution |
| 3. | Cyclical Evolution | 4. | Convergent Evolution |
A population of a species invades a new area. Which of the following condition will lead to adaptive radiation?

| 2. | Area with a single type of vacant habitat |
| 3. | Area with many types of vacant habitats |
| 4. | Area with many habitats occupied by a large number of species |
