    According to the question, when a student sitting at the back bench in a class has difficulty in reading. It could be his defect of vision of “Myopia Causes”.
    The image formation of his eye towards blackboard when he is seated as (i) back seat and (ii) front seat. The possible two causes of this defect are:
    (i) excessive curvature of the eye lens
    (ii) elongation of eyeball.
    This defect can be corrected by using a concave lens of suitable power. Ray diagram:

    The phenomena described in each scenario can be explained by different principles in biology. Here are the explanations for each:

    i) Camouflage/Mimicry: (Natural selection): The green beetles are not eaten by crows because they blend in with the green bushes, making them difficult for the crows to spot. This is an example of natural selection favoring traits that provide better camouflage or mimicry.

    ii) Ecological Succession: (Genetic drift): The increase in the number of blue beetles in green bushes is a consequence of the red beetles being trampled by a herd of elephants. This event leads to a change in the ecological conditions, allowing the blue beetles to thrive in the absence of competition from the red beetles.

    iii) Mendelian Inheritance (Law of Dominance) : The absence of ‘medium height plants’ in the F1 generation upon crossing pure tall and dwarf pea plants is explained by Mendel’s law of dominance. In this case, the tall trait is dominant, and the dwarf trait is recessive, resulting in only tall plants in the first generation.

    iv) Lamarckian Inheritance: (Acquired characters are not inherited): The persistence of tails in mice even after surgical removal for several generations suggests a Lamarckian inheritance, where acquired traits are passed on to offspring. However, it’s important to note that Lamarckian inheritance is not a widely accepted concept in modern biology.

    v) Gene Flow: The migration of beetles and the incorporation of genes from the migrant beetle into the local population exemplify the phenomenon of gene flow. This process contributes to genetic diversity within a population by introducing new alleles from individuals of another population.
