Question:

Observe the given figure representing different are pyramids for human population answer the following question.

Identify the true statement from the following:

Options:

Population ecology links ecology to human physiology

Population ecology links ecology to population genetics

Population ecology links ecology to physiology and evolution

Population ecology links ecology to population genetics and evolution

Correct Answer:

Population ecology links ecology to population genetics and evolution

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (4) → Population ecology links ecology to population genetics and evolution.

Population ecology studies how populations of species interact with their environment, which includes factors like natural selection and genetic variation. It plays a crucial role in understanding how populations evolve over time, linking ecology (the interaction of organisms with their environment) to population genetics (the study of genetic variation within populations) and evolution (the process by which populations develop traits that allow them to survive and reproduce).

Population ecology links ecology to population genetics and evolution.
