[2002]

Detailed Solution for 31 Years NEET Previous Year Questions: Organisms & Populations - 2 - Question 20

The biotic potential is defined as the physiological capacity of organisms to produce their offspring under natural conditions. It is also called reproductive potential. In nature, the biotic potential of organisms is enormous but all the organisms do not survive due to the lack of food and space. There are also a number of diseases and predatory organisms, that feed upon other organisms. The carrying capacity is the maximum number of individuals which the environment can support or sustain.

31 Years NEET Previous Year Questions: Organisms & Populations - 2 - Question 21

Which part of the world has a high density of organisms? [1999]

Detailed Solution for 31 Years NEET Previous Year Questions: Organisms & Populations - 2 - Question 21

Tropical rain forests occur in equatorial and subequatorial regions. The forests receive all the external inputs for optimum plant growth.  Due to abundant plant growth, a large number of animals live in tropical rain forests. In grasslands fire occur periodically which prevent tree growth. In savannahs periods of drought are common. In deciduous forests are found predominantly broad leaved hard wood deciduous trees.

Detailed Solution for 31 Years NEET Previous Year Questions: Organisms & Populations - 2 - Question 22

Tropical forests are found in tropical zone of the world and are characterised by very high temperature with rainfall in abundance. The flora of tropical rain forest is very rich and highly diversified. The tropical forests have a very rich fauna both in density as well as in varieties. The reason for this high diversity and variety of flora and fauna is the occurence of suitable conditions in these forests. So these are more vulnerable to invasion by outside plants and animals.

31 Years NEET Previous Year Questions: Organisms & Populations - 2 - Question 23

[1998]

Detailed Solution for 31 Years NEET Previous Year Questions: Organisms & Populations - 2 - Question 23

Mortality is the average number of natural deaths per unit population per unit time. Fecundity refers to the biotic potential of the organism. Environmental resistance is the sum total of all limiting factors that prevents a population to realize its full potential.

31 Years NEET Previous Year Questions: Organisms & Populations - 2 - Question 24

An interesting modification of flower shape for insect pollination occurs in some orchids in which a male insect mistakes the pattern on the orchid flower for the female species and tries to copulate with it, thereby pollinating the flower. This phenomenon is called:   

Detailed Solution for 31 Years NEET Previous Year Questions: Organisms & Populations - 2 - Question 24

For its pollination the orchid Ophrys speculum has picked on the most selective attraction in the entire animal kingdom. It is pollinated by a hairy wasp, Colpa aurea. The wasp has a fixed habit whereby its males leave the burrows for above-ground existence about four weeks before the females emerge for the open-air mating. The orchid opens its flowers about the same time the males appear and they possess an appearance and odour similar to those possessed by the female wasps. The inexperienced males mistake the Ophrys flowers for their female counterparts and land to perform the act of pseudo-copulation. The insect repeats the act with a number of orchid flowers and carries pollinia from one flower to another. This insect-plant relationship is beneficial only to the plant.

31 Years NEET Previous Year Questions: Organisms & Populations - 2 - Question 25

Two opposite forces operate in the growth and development of every population. One of them relates to the ability to reproduce at a given rate. The force opposing it is called 

Detailed Solution for 31 Years NEET Previous Year Questions: Organisms & Populations - 2 - Question 25

Biotic potential is the inherent ability of an organism to reproduce.  Resistance refers to the sum total of all the limiting factors that inhibit further growth of population.
