So, the answer is '309'.
Question 2
1 / -0

Biodiversity is determined by

A
Number of individuals in an area

B
Species richness

C
Evenness

D
Both B and C

Solution

The variety and variability of living organisms (both plants and animals) are known as biodiversity. The variation measured by biodiversity is at the genetic, species, and ecosystem level. Species richness and evenness are major factors determining biodiversity. Tropics have the highest biodiversity.
So, the correct answer is 'Both B and C'.
Question 3
1 / -0

Rate of replacement of species along a gradient of habitats/communities is called

A
$$\alpha$$ - diversity

B
$$\beta$$ - diversity

C
$$\gamma$$ - diversity

D
$$\omega$$ - diversity

Solution

The local species pool is known as alpha diversity. It is also the diversity present within the community. Beta diversity is the diversity present between the communities. The diversity present in the ranges of communities is known as Gamma diversity.
So, the correct answer is 'β - diversity'.
Question 4

The process is a completely natural part of evolution. But sometimes extinctions happen at a higher and a faster rate than usual. Factors such as large body size, small population, massive habitat loss and position at a higher trophic level favor extinction
So, the correct answer is 'Its natural habitat is destroyed'

A
Types of species within a community

B
Types of communities in an area

C
Gene based diversity

D
Diversity and evolution of species with a genus

Solution

The variety and variability of living organisms (both plants and animals) are known as biodiversity. The variation measured by biodiversity is at the genetic, species, and ecosystem level. Gene-based diversity is known as genetic diversity. It is a way for populations to adapt to changing environments.
So, the correct answer is 'Gene-based diversity'.
