The questions (Q. No. 11 to 14) consist of two statements each, printed as Assertion and Reason. While
answering these questions you are required to choose any one of the following four responses.
A . If both Assertion and Reason are true and the Reason is correct explanation of the Assertion.
B. If both Assertion and Reason are true but the Reason is not a correct explanation of the Assertion.
C. If Assertion is true but the Reason is false.
D. If both Assertion and Reason are false
11. Assertion : The use of pesticides in agriculture can lead to the evolution of resistance in the insect population.
Reason : Pesticides kill all insects in a population, regardless of their genetic makeup.
12. Assertion : Living organisms can arise spontaneously from non-living matter.
Reason : Observations of maggots appearing in decaying meat supported the idea of spontaneous generation.
13. Assertion: The wings of birds, bats & insects all allow for flight, but have different underlying structure.
Reason: Convergent evolution creates similar functions from different starting points in unrelated organisms.
.
14. Assertion : Saltational events, although rare, might contribute to the initial variation upon which natural
selection can act.
Reason : Large mutations can introduce entirely new traits into a population, potentially leading to a rapid
shift in phenotype.
