Assertion: Variations are important for the process of evolution. Reason: Meiosis increases the genetic variability in the population of organisms from one generation ot the next.

Random genetic drift in a population probably result from

The vital link ensures continuity of species between organisms of one generation and the next is

The genetic diversity arising from meiosis results from:

According to Hardy-Weinberg principle, allele and genotype frequencies in a population will remain constant from generation to generation in the absence of other evolutionary influences. It makes several assumptions which were given below. i. Random Mating ii. Sexual Reproduction iii. Non-overlapping Generations iv. Occurrence of Natural Selection v. Small size of population. Identify two assumptions which do not meet for a population to reach Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium?

Assertion: Hardy-Weinberg principle explains the variations occurring in population and species over a number of generations. Reason: Hardy-Weinberg principle is applicable only when genetic drift occurs.

Meiosis occurs in organisms during

Meiosis occurs in organisms during

Assertion :Species with low genetic variability are generally at greater risk of extinction than the species with more genetic variability. Reason: Species with low genetic variability are more vulnerable to disease, predators or other environmental challenges.

The fraction of energy lost when an organism proceeds from one trophic level to the next trophic level is
