The correct Answer is:
To solve the assertion and reason question regarding the founder effect and adaptive radiation, we will break down the concepts step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: - The assertion states that "the original drifted population in a new habitat becomes the founder and the effect is called the founder effect." - This means that when a small group of individuals from a larger population migrates to a new area, they establish a new population. This new population is referred to as the "founders," and the genetic differences that arise due to this small founding group are termed the "founder effect." 2. **Understanding the Reason**: - The reason states that "Darwin's finches of Galapagos Island show adaptive radiation." - Adaptive radiation refers to the process where a single ancestral species rapidly diversifies into a wide variety of forms to adapt to different environments or niches. In the case of Darwin's finches, they evolved different beak shapes to exploit various food sources available on the islands. 3. **Evaluating the Relationship**: - Both the assertion and reason are true statements. However, the reason does not explain the assertion. The founder effect is about the genetic consequences of a small population establishing itself in a new habitat, while adaptive radiation is about the diversification of species from a common ancestor in response to different environmental pressures. 4. **Conclusion**: - Since both the assertion and reason are true but the reason does not explain the assertion, the correct answer is that the assertion is true and the reason is also true, but the reason is not a correct explanation of the assertion. ### Final Answer: - The correct option is that both the assertion and reason are true, but the reason is not a correct explanation of the assertion.

Assertion: Founder effect may lead to formation of new species. Reason: Founders carry all the parental gene pool to a new location.

Assertion : Darwin's finches show a variety of beaks suited for eating large seeds, flying insects and cactus seeds. Reason : Ancestral seed-eating stock of Darwin's finches radiated out from South American mainland to different geographical areas of the Galapagos Island, where they found competitor-free new habitats.

Fill up the balnks in the following paragraph by selecting the correct option. When migration of a section of population to another place and population occurs, I change in the original as well as in the new population new genes/ alleles are added to the ii, population and these are lost from the population. These would be a iv if this gene migration, happens multiple times. if the same change occurs by chance, it is called v. sometimes the change in allele frequency is so different in the new sample of population that they become a diffrent species. The original drifted population becomes founders and the effect is called vi

Assertion :- Tasmanian wolf and Placental wolf are the good example of convergent evolution. Reason :- More than one adaptive radiation apperared to have occured in an isolated geographical area, (representing different habitats) one can call this convergent evolution.
