21. Given below is the diagrammatic
representation of operation of natural selection on different traits.
a. Identify the type of natural selection
A, B & C.
b. Briefly explain each of them.
1. Theory of
Panspermia.
2. (d) H2, CH4, NH3,
H2O
3. Analogous organs.
4. Adaptive radiation.
5. Lamarck.
6. Branching descent and natural selection.
7. Genetic drift.
8. This statement is true to some extent. Theory of
abiogenesis states that life came out
of some non-living matters. Theory of chemical evolution states that the first form of life was
originated from inorganic & organic molecules. Thus both
theories say about the origin of life from non-living things.
9. (a) A= Divergent evolution. B=
Convergent evolution.
(b) Homologous organs: E.g. Human hand, Whale’s flippers, Bat’s wing
& Cheetah’s foot.
Analogous organs: E.g. Wings of insects and wings of birds.
10. (a) Adaptive radiation.
(b) Adaptive
radiation is the evolution of different species from an ancestor in a
geographical area starting from a point. E.g. Marsupial radiation in Australia.

2. Dark winged

12. (a) Evening primrose.
(b) Darwinian variation is minor, slow and directional. It
results in gradual evolution.
Mutational
variation is sudden, random & directionless.

man → Homo sapiens
15. (a) Homo habilis.

17. (a) A= Marsupial radiation. The phenomenon is
Adaptive radiation.
(b) It is an evolution of different species of marsupials
from an ancestor in Australia. It is a type of divergent evolution.
(c) Darwin’s finches in Galapagos
Islands.
18. (a) It denotes the variations in the number of
white winged moths and dark winged moths in different periods.
(b) Natural selection.
(c) After industrialization (1920), the tree trunks became dark due to industrial smoke and
soot. No growth of lichens. So white winged moths did not survive because the
predators identified them easily. Dark winged moth survived because of suitable
dark background.
19. (a) Hardy-Weinberg Principle.
(b) Gene migration, Genetic drift,
Natural selection, mutation etc.
(c) It results in evolution.

21. (a) A= Stabilizing selection. B=
Directional selection. C= Disruptive selection.
(b) Stabilizing
selection: Here,
more individuals acquire mean
character value and variation is reduced.
Directional
selection: Individuals of one extreme are more favoured.
Disruptive selection: Individuals of both extremes are more favoured.
