Q1.Here is some data for a cohort of 400 individuals of a species whose abundance was tracked for 6 years (its maximum lifespan). For one-year age intervals from birth to 6 years, you have the following numbers of survivors, 400, 200, 100, 40, 20, 10, and 0. The corresponding per capita birth rates are 0.1, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 4.0, 3.0 , and 0.0. What is the basic reproductive rate R0?
Q2.In a line transect of length L and half-width w, designed for estimating the density of gaur (∼ D=N/2Lw), N animals were counted. The following statements represent possible assumptions about population sampling. A. The probability of detection is independent of distance from the transect line. B. The animals in question are uniformly distributed through the study area. C. The animals are deemed to be stationary and thus detected only once during the sampling. D. Animals on the line will be detected with a probability equal to 1. Select the options that are considered as assumptions in line transect sampling.
Q3.Which of the following options represents the correct order of increasing biological organisation?
Q4.A student used the mark-recapture method to assess the population size of grasshopper in a field. The student was asked to repeat the recapture procedure once on three consecutive days. The procedure followed by the student and the observations made are as follows: A. On day one, 40 grasshoppers were captured, marked and released back in the field. B. On day two, 60 grasshoppers were re-captured of which, 4 were marked. He marked the unmarked ones and released all 60 in the field. C. On day three, 50 grasshoppers were re-captured of which 7 were marked. He marked the unmarked ones and released all 50 in the field. D. On day four, 25 grasshoppers were re-captured of which 6 were marked. The student was asked to calculate the population size based on the mean of the three observations. The estimated population size is:
Q5.The given table shows the annual Net Primary Productivity (NPP), season length, and Leaf Area Index (LAI) for various ecosystems. Ecosystem  Season length (days) Annual NPP (g m-2) Total LAI (m2 m-2) Tropical Forest 365  2482  6.0  Temperate Forest  250  1550  6.0  Tundra  100  180  1.0  Desert  100  250  1.0  Which one of the following options represents the correct order of decreasing NPP per day per unit leaf area?
Q6.For a population that grows exponentially in the time interval (t, t + 1), we have Nt+1 = R Nt, where N denotes population size and R denotes the growth rate. Under intraspecific competition where births and deaths are density dependent, we expect the population to stabilize at carrying capacity, K. In the figure below, Nt/Nt+1 is plotted as a linear function of Nt. We may write down the linear equation for the line joining A with B and derive a model for density-dependent population growth under intraspecific competition. Denoting (R-1)/K as a, which of the following is the correct relationship that describes population growth?
Q7.The following statements represent possible outcomes of competition between two species. A. Niche differentiation between species B. Expansion of fundamental niche of both species C.

Q9.Four groups of students (A-D) were asked to determine whether memory B cells generated in mice immunized with ovalbumin (OVA), in Complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA), could mount a secondary antibody response (recall response) to OVA in vitro. The groups did the following experiments: Group A students harvested serum from the mice, loaded it on OVA-coated ELISA plates and showed that lgG and lgA anti-OVA antibodies were present. Group B students harvested long-lived plasma cells from bone marrow of the mice, plated them in culture for 5 days and showed anti-OVA antibodies in supernatant by ELISA. Group C students infected an epithelial cell line with the virus and showed that spleen cells from the mice could kill the infected targets. Group D students stimulated spleen cells from the mouse with OVA for 5 days and showed anti-OVA antibodies in supernatant by ELISA. Which one of the following options represents group(s) that did the correct experiment?
Q10.Given below are figures representing four different situations/examples of genetic and environmental (temperature) effects on plant height in two varieties of a plant species. In figures A, C and D, solid and dashed lines represent the mean values of plant height for the two varieties G1 and G2, respectively. In figure B, the solid and dashed lines overlap. Given below are four statements explaining the four figures. i. Plant height is influenced primarily by the genotype of the two varieties. ii. Variation in plant height is influenced only by the temperature and genotype has no effect. iii. Genotype and temperature collectively have an additive effect on plant height. iv. Both genotype and environment have an effect on plant height with the two varieties responding differently to the environment. Which one of the following options correctly matches the figures and their corresponding explanations?
