A: Holistic approach explains the environmental interactions.
R: All environmental factors are integrated with no limits of time and space.
A: Some organisms can maintain internal homeostasis by means of physiological processes and are called 'Regulators'.
R: 'Regulators' can maintain internal homeostasis only up to a limit of stressful conditions.

A: Population ecology is a link of ecology to population genetics and evolution.
R: Natural selection operates at the population level to evolve the desired traits.
A: Under unlimited resource conditions, a population can show an exponential growth curve.
R: A maximum possible number of individuals can always be supported when enough resources are available.
A: Fig species and wasp have a tight one to one relationship.
R: Angiosperms and insects are coevolved to perform a plant-pollinator interaction.
A: Five closely related species of warblers living on the same tree can avoid competition and co-exist.
R: This occurs due to behavioural differences in their foraging activities.
A: The soil of tropical rain forest has low base content.
R: Such soil shows less percolation and leaching.
A: Estuary constitutes one of the most productive ecosystems.
R: It represents the transition zone between two populations of a species.
A: Environmental resistance operates to slow down the exponential phase in the logistic population.
R: Crash phase does not occur in this population.
A: Different ecotypes of a species despite being genotypically different are interfertile.
R: They are locally natural selections from a pool of genetic variations found in a species' gene pool.
