  • Q4
    What is Bayesian mimicry?
    A type of mimicry where two harmless species imitate each other's appearances
    A type of mimicry where a toxic species imitates the appearance of a harmless species
    A form of mimicry where a harmless species imitates the appearance of a harmful or toxic species

  • Q5
    What is Mullerian mimicry?
    A form of competition between members of the same species.
    A relationship in which one organism benefits at the expense of another.
    A type of camouflage used by prey animals.
    A phenomenon in which two or more unpalatable species resemble each other.

  • Q6
    Which of the following is an example of Mullerian mimicry?
    The resemblance between a monarch butterfly and a viceroy butterfly.
    A predator mimicking the behavior of its prey to catch it.
    The ability of a stick insect to blend in with its surroundings.

  • Q7
    What is the difference between Mullerian mimicry and Batesian mimicry?
    Mullerian mimicry occurs between the same species, while Batesian mimicry occurs between different species.
    Mullerian mimicry involves the mimicry of behaviors, while Batesian mimicry involves mimicry of physical appearance.
    In Mullerian mimicry, both the mimics and the models are unpalatable, while in Batesian mimicry, the mimics are harmless but resemble harmful models.
    In Mullerian mimicry, the mimics resemble predators, while in Batesian mimicry, the mimics resemble prey.

  • Q9
    What is coevolution?
    The process of adapting to a changing environment.
    The study of ancient organisms through fossils.
    The mutual evolutionary change that occurs when two or more species interact over a long period of time.
    The process of evolution in only one species.

  • Q10
    What are consumptive effects?
    The movement of nutrients between biotic and abiotic components.
    The transformation of energy from one form to another.
    The flow of energy through food chains and webs.
    The direct killing or removal of organisms from an ecosystem.

  • Q11
    What is the primary impact of consumptive effects on ecosystems?
    An enhancement of genetic variation and adaptation.
    An increase in species diversity and ecosystem stability.
    A decrease in nutrient cycling and energy flow.

    Different species competing intensely for the same resource.
    Different species avoiding competition by occupying different habitats.

  • Q15
    What does the term 'competitive exclusion' refer to?
    When one species outcompetes and totally excludes another species from a habitat
    When two species share the same habitat but do not compete
    When one species benefits and the other is unaffected
