ZOOLOGY - EVOLUTION
NOTE :- 5.
1) This exercise should be assumed less as a
quiz but more like NCERT explanation or
notes in form of questions which are framed,
for long retention of concepts , as NCERT
plus its language appears really difficult to
analyze and understand ,to majority of
students !
6.
2) Attempt questions , give it a thought , must
read the explanations given in last portion ___, Methane , __ , Carbon di__from __mass
of exercise. Still if your concept is not clear, covered the surface of earth.
then , only approach a faculty . Don't rush
towards help without reading explanation,
otherwise the purpose of this effort gets
defeated.
3) Don't mug up or cram or try to remember
explanations line to line as there is no need
- understand the concept , consider them as
your faculty is teaching you NCERT through
7.
this exercise.
4) Don't panic after looking at the volume of
this text , just the concepts of NCERT and no
extra data is given. So, Chill !!!

Darwin either ignored these variations or kept

this : he asserted that variations ,which are

better for few (adapted to habitat better)will
enable only those to reproduce and leave more
progeny."

deVries believed mutation caused speciation
and hence, called it saltation."

from expected values, the difference (direction)
indicates the extent of evolutionary change .
Disturbance in genetic equilibrium, or Hardy-
Weinberg equilibrium, i.e., change of frequency
