Reproductive isolation mechanism prevent interbreeding of naturally sympatric population. Given below are categories of isolating mechanisms. Choose the correct name for isolation when potential mates occupy overlapping ranges but reproduce at different times of the year.
Ecological isolation
Behavioural isolation
Temporal isolation
Mechanical isolation
C.
Temporal isolation
Temporal isolation is an evolutionary mechanism that keeps individuals of different species from interbreeding, even if they live in the same environment. It prevents species from mating because they breed at different times. These differences can be time of day, season, or even different years. Both plants and animals may exhibit temporal isolation, even if species are closely related and live in the same habitat.

Consider the following statements given below.
I. First living form originated from semi-arid land.
II. Nucleic acid were the first sign of life and represented beginning of life.
III. It was strongly beleived that prokaryotes evolved to from eukaryotes.
Choose the correct option

The· eyes of Octopus and eyes of cat show different patterns of structure, yet they perform similar function. This is an example of
homologous organs that have evolved due to convergent evolution
homologous organs that have evolved due to divergent evolution
analogous organs that have evolved due to convergent evolution
analogous organs that have evolved due to divergent evolution
Parapatric speciation takes place when
a small segment of the original population becomes isolated reproductively
a part of the population becomes geographically isolated from the main population
a very different daughter species bud off from a semi- isolated peripheral population of ancestral species
a population of a species enters a new habitat
Darwin in the 'theory of natural selection' states that
characters acquired during the life of an individual are inherited by its offsprings
environment does not play any role in the evolution
natural selection acts on favourable variations, which appear among individuals of a species
heritable variations arises through changes in the gene complex of species
