- Q1Which of the following is an example of crypsis?A snake shedding its skinA bird building a nestA stick insect resembling a twig to blend in with its surroundings.A fish swimming quickly to avoid a predator30s
- Q2What is aposematism?A phenomenon where animals change their physical appearance to match their environment.A type of bird behavior that involves courtship displays.The ability of a plant to mimic the appearance of a different species.A warning coloration used by animals to signal potential predators of their toxicity or unpalatability.The process by which an animal sheds its exoskeleton.30s
- Q3Which of the following is an example of aposematism?A migratory bird.A speedy cheetah.A brightly colored poison dart frog.A camouflaged chameleon.A nocturnal owl.30s
- Q4What is Bayesian mimicry?A type of mimicry where two harmless species imitate each other's appearancesA type of mimicry where a toxic species imitates the appearance of a harmless speciesA form of mimicry where a harmless species imitates the appearance of a harmful or toxic speciesA type of mimicry where a predator imitates the appearance of its prey30s
- Q5What 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.The process of one species imitating the behavior of another species.30s
- Q6Which 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.A moth camouflaging as a leaf to avoid predators.A flower evolving to attract specific pollinators.30s
- Q7What 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.30s
- Q8What is an example of coevolution?Predator-prey relationshipsPhotosynthesis in plantsCell division in bacteriaHuman language development30s
- Q9What 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.30s
- Q10What 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.30s
- Q11What 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.A reduction in population size and changes in community structure.30s
- Q12Which of the following is an example of intraspecies interaction?A lioness caring for her cubsTwo male lions fighting over territoryA lion and a hyena competing for foodA lion hunting a zebra for prey30s
- Q13What is apparent competition?A competition between two species directly caused by their physical interactions.A competition between two species indirectly caused by a shared predator.A competition between two species for mating partners.A competition between two species for the same resources.30s
- Q14Which of the following describes the concept of resource partitioning?Different species using the same resource in different ways or at different times to minimize competition.Different species competing intensely for the same resource.Different species avoiding competition by occupying different habitats.Different species sharing the exact same resource equally.30s
- Q15What does the term 'competitive exclusion' refer to?When one species outcompetes and totally excludes another species from a habitatWhen two species share the same habitat but do not competeWhen one species benefits and the other is unaffectedWhen two species form a mutualistic relationship30s
