Sample PYQs from this chapter

Real questions NTA asked from Organisms and Populations, with the answer and the working. Try before you peek.

Question 1 · NEET 2026

Which one of the following is an appropriate example of sexual deceit?
  1. A.Female wasp and fig
  2. B.Ophrys and bumblebee
  3. C.Sea anemone and clown fish
  4. D.Cuckoo and crow
Answer and explanation

Answer: B

In sexual deceit the Mediterranean orchid Ophrys mimics a female bumblebee so that the male bee attempts pseudocopulation and inadvertently pollinates the flower. Female wasp and fig is mutualism, sea anemone and clown fish is commensalism, and cuckoo and crow is brood parasitism, so only Ophrys and bumblebee is sexual deceit.

Which of the following is not an attribute of a population?
  1. A.Natality
  2. B.Mortality
  3. C.Species interaction
  4. D.Sex ratio
Answer and explanation

Answer: C

Species interaction is a characteristic of communities, not populations. Chapter: Organisms and Populations.
