3. Marsupial mouse- Mole
4. Spotted Cuscus - Lemur
1. | Sympatric |
2. | Undergoing disruptive selection |
3. | Allopatric |
4. | Not geographically separated |
Assertion(A): | Analogous structures are a result of convergent evolution |
Reason(R): | More than one adaptive radiation appeared to have occurred in an isolated geographical area, is the convergent evolution |
1. | Both (A) & (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A) |
2. | Both (A) & (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A) |
3. | (A) is true but (R) is false |
4. | Both (A) and (R) are false statements |
1. | If operates in large populations |
2. | If always eliminates favourable allele from a population. |
3. | If work in opposite to natural selection |
4. | If can not fix non-adaptive trait in a population |
