143. Answer (3)

Hint: Eyes of cephalopod molluscs are analogous to

vertebrate eyes.

Sol.: Nictating membrane is a vestigial organ and

presents anatomical evidence. In Miller’s experiment

of chemical evolution, CH4, NH

3, H

2 and water

vapour were used which on exposure to electric

discharge resulted in formation of amino acids.

Industrial melanism is an example of natural

selection.

144. Answer (1)

Hint: Tasmanian tiger cat is an Australian marsupial.

Sol.: Wombat, Bandicoot and Spotted cuscus are

Australian marsupials whereas Bobcat is a placental

mammal.

145. Answer (2)

Hint: Elongated neck of giraffe can be explained by

continuous stretching according to this theory.

Sol.: All acquired characters of a generation are

passed on to the next one according to Lamarck.

146. Answer (1)

Hint: Common ancestral finch was a herbivore.

Sol.: Parent finch was seed eating and other forms

arose with altered beaks enabling them to become

insectivorous.

147. Answer (3)

Hint: Bipedal gait evolved prior to verbal language.

Sol.: Increased cranial capacity led to natural

selection. Erect posture appeared in

Australopithecines.

148. Answer (2)

Hint: This is a case of stabilising selection.

Sol.: In case of stabilizing selection, average mean

value is selected so that average phenotype exhibits

higher and narrower peak. Two peaks are obtained in

disruptive selection.

149. Answer (2)

Hint: Simpler molecules give rise to complex

organisms.

Sol.: During course of origin of life following events

take place in given order.

1. Synthesis of organic monomers.

2. Synthesis of organic polymers.

3. Formation of protobionts with RNA

4. Formation of protobionts with DNA based

genetic systems.

150. Answer (1)

Hint: Adaptive radiation in ancestral stock of

Australian marsupials and placental mammals

separately.

Sol.: A number of marsupials, each different from the

other, evolved from an ancestral stock, but all within

Australian island. Divergent evolution, represented

homology while convergent evolution represents

analogy. Saltation refer to large mutation leading to

variation according to mutation theory.

151. Answer (4)

Hint: Presence of artificial selection alters Hardy-

Weinberg principle.

Sol.: The factors which affect genetic equilibrium in

a population are presence of (1) genetic drift (2) gene

migration/gene flow (3) mutation (4) genetic

recombination (5) natural selection and (6) lack of

random mating.

152. Answer (3)

Hint: Melanic forms have selective advantage and

inheritance of this character was naturally selected.

Sol.: Natural selection brings about evolution

Industrial melanism is an example of directional type

of natural selection. In a mixed population having

different variants of moths, those that are better

adapted will survive and will be naturally selected.

Such as after industrialization, melanic forms could

camouflage themselves in the background.

153. Answer (2)

Hint: Identify a case of Sewall-Wright effect.

Sol.: When gene migration occurs many time, there

will be gene flow. If the change in allele frequency

occurs by chance, it is called genetic drift. Following

two effects are ramifications of genetic drift i.e., (1)

Founder’s effect (2) Bottleneck effect.

154. Answer (1)

Hint: According to Ernst Haeckl, it is summarised as

biogenetic law.

Sol.: Ontogeny is development of embryo and

phylogeny is the ancestral sequence. Biogenetic law

states that ontogeny is recapitulation of phylogeny.

As per this law, the sequence of embryonic

development in different vertebrates show striking

similarities.

155. Answer (4)

Hint: Common ancestry in different organisms.

Sol.: Organs which have same origin but different

function are called homologous organs. e.g.

Forelimbs of human, horse and bat.

156. Answer (4)

Hint: Homo erectus appeared about 1.5 mya.

Sol.: Cranial capacities of Cro-Magnon man,

H.erectus, H.habilis and H.neanderthalensis are

1650, 900, 650-800 & 1400 cc respectively.

Neanderthal man buried his dead with flowers and

tools.

157. Answer (2)

Hint: Large population has constant allelic frequency

in absence of evolutionary factors.

Sol.:

According to HW law,

p + q = 1

p + 0.4 = 1

p = 0.6

frequency of carriers (heterozygous) = 2 pq

= 2 × 0.4 × 0.6 = 0.48

= 48%

So, number of carriers = 96 among 2000 individuals

158. Answer (4)

Hint: Age of fossils based on position and pairing of

electrons.

Sol.: Electron spin resonance measures no. of

unpaired electrons in crystalline structures which

were previously exposed to radiation. Age of fossil is

determined by measuring dosage of radiations.

159. Answer (1)

Hint: Birds have shelled calcareous eggs.

Sol.: Presence of scales on hind limbs and shelled/

cleidoic eggs are considered as reptilian ancestry of

birds because both features together appeared first

in reptiles but are also found in birds. Birds lack

teeth and have a four chambered heart.

160. Answer (3)

Hint: Golden Age of reptiles.

Sol.: Mesozoic era is considered as golden age of

reptiles because reptiles were dominant. Jurassic

period is considered as golden age of Dinosaurs.

161. Answer (1)

Hint: Mutations are non directional in nature.

Sol.: Evolution is a non-directional, stochastic

process based on chance events and chance

mutations. Evolution is occurring on a fast pace due

to anthropogenic interference.

162. Answer (1)

Hint: Bond formed between two sulphur containing

amino acids.

other by disulphide bonds between cysteines.

163. Answer (4)

Hint: Pathogen causes filariasis, a helminthic

disease.

Sol.: Ascaris causes ascariasis, E.histolytica cause

amoebiasis, Streptococcus pneumoniae causes

pneumonia. Wuchereria causes elephantiasis/

filariasis which is chronic inflammation of lymphatic

vessels of lower limb.

164. Answer (4)

Hint: This disorder is characterised by presence of

swollen, reddened, running eyes, nose and anti-

histamines are given to the patient.

Sol.: Myasthenia gravis, rheumatoid arthritis and

vitiligo are autoimmune disorders. Hay fever is a type

of allergy.

165. Answer (2)

erythrocytes & hepatocytes.

Sol.: Malarial parasites are sporozoans and

reproduce asexually in hepatocytes as well as in

RBCs of man. Sporozoite forms of Plasmodium are
