The correct answer is Option (4) - A- ii , B- iii, C- i , D- iv.
| Column I |
Column II. |
| A. Reproduce once in life |
ii. Salmon fish |
| B. Sigmoid curve in logistic growth |
iii. Verhulst-Pearl |
| C. Predator |
i. Prudent |
| D. Competitive Exclusion Principle |
iv. Gause |
A. Reproduce once in life - ii. Salmon fish
- Some species, like the Salmon fish, reproduce only once in their lifetime, releasing a large number of offspring before dying. This phenomenon is called semelparity.
B. Sigmoid curve in logistic growth - iii. Verhulst-Pearl
- The sigmoid (S-shaped) curve represents the logistic growth model, which accounts for limited resources. This model is called the Verhulst-Pearl logistic growth model.
C. Predator - i. Prudent
- Predators can be considered prudent because they regulate their prey populations, ensuring that they do not over-exploit resources, which could lead to a collapse in prey availability and ultimately harm the predator population as well.
D. Competitive Exclusion Principle - iv. Gause
- The Competitive Exclusion Principle, also known as Gause’s Law, states that two species competing for the same limited resources cannot coexist indefinitely, and one will outcompete the other.
