Given below is the representation of the extent of the global diversity of invertebrates. What groups do the four positions (A-D) represent respectively?

A
A- Insects, B- Crustaceans, C- Other animal groups, D- Molluscs

B
A- Crustaceans, B- Insects, C- Molluscs, D- Other animal groups

C
A- Molluscs, B- Other animal groups,C- Crustaceans, D- Insects

D
A- Insects, B- Molluscs, C- Crustaceans, D- Other animal groups
Solution
97% of all animals are invertebrates.
Insects (A) belong to the phylum Arthropoda which is the largest phylum of the animal kingdom.
Mollusca(B) is the second-largest phylum of the animal kingdom followed by class Crustacea (C) of the Arthropoda phylum.
Other animal groups (D) combinedly indicate the last position in the chart.
.
Thus, the correct answer is option D.
Question 4
1 / -0

The conservation of genetic resources within natural ecosystem is

A
Ex situ conservation

B
In situ conservation

C
Both A and C

D
None of the above

Solution

In situ is a conservation strategy in which involves the conservation of genetic resources in the natural populations of plant or animal species. Conservation of genetic resources in a forest is an example of this type of conversational strategy. It is the process of protecting the endangered plant and animal species in their natural environment. Wildlife sanctuaries, national parks, and biosphere reserves are some of the methods of In situ conservation.
So, the correct answer is option B.
Question 5
1 / -0

Keoladeo Ghana and Simlipal are situated at

A
Wildlife sanctuaries and biosphere reserve are situated at Bharatpur (Rajasthan) and Odisha

B
National park and biosphere reserve are situated at Madhya Pradesh and Odisha

C
Wildife sanctuaries and National park are situated at Rajasthan and Odisha

D
National park and biosphere reserve are situated at Rajasthan and Odisha

Solution

Keoladeo National park is a man-made and man maintained the national park in Bharatpur, Rajasthan. It is spread over an area 29 sq. km and is locally known as Ghana. Simlipal National Park is situated in Mayurbhanj district of Odisha.
Hence, the correct answer is option D.
Question 6
1 / -0

In your opinion, which is the most effective way to conserve the biodiversity of a region?

A
By creating biosphere reserve

B
By ex situ conservation

C
Both A and B

D
In situ conservation

Solution

In situ conservation methods are most effective ways to conserve the biodiversity of a region. The biosphere reserve is an in situ conservation method. By in situ conservation biodiversity including genetic diversity can be preserved and conserved by protecting wild population traditional life style and domesticated plant genetic resources.
Question 7
1 / -0

Which one of the following is not an example of ex-situ conservation of endangered species?

A
Zoological park

B
National park

C
Culture collection

D
Botanical garden
Solution
- Ex-situ conservation is the preservation of threatened animals and plants outside their natural habitats.
- The animals are placed under special care by removing them from their natural habitat.
- Hence it is also called offsite conservation. For example- National parks, Botanical gardens, Wildlife Safari parks, etc.
Thus, the correct answer is option B.
Question 8
1 / -0

Write the correct sequence of genetic diversity.

A
Kingdom $$\rightarrow$$ species $$\rightarrow $$chromosomes$$ \rightarrow $$genes $$\rightarrow$$ nucleotides

B
Population $$\rightarrow$$species $$\rightarrow$$ chromosomes $$\rightarrow$$ genes $$\rightarrow$$ nucleotides

C
Species $$\rightarrow$$ genes $$\rightarrow$$population $$\rightarrow $$ chromosomes$$ \rightarrow $$ nucleotides

D
Kingdom $$ \rightarrow$$ population $$\rightarrow$$ species $$\rightarrow$$ genes $$\rightarrow$$ chromosome $$\rightarrow$$ nucleotides

Solution

Genetic diversity is the diversity in the number and types of genes as well as chromosomes present in different species and variations in the gene and their alleles in the same species.
Population $$\rightarrow $$Species $$\rightarrow $$Chromosomes $$\rightarrow $$Genes $$\rightarrow $$Nucleotide is the correct sequence of genetic diversity.
Question 9
1 / -0

Which of the following helps in maintaining species diversity in a community?

A
Omnivores

B
Predators

C
Herbivores

D
Facultative parasites

Solution

Species diversity is defined as the number of different species in a given community. The species diversity in a community is maintained by predators. Predators are organisms that feed on prey. They can increase, decrease or leave unchanged species diversity. They increase species diversity by preying on competitive dominant species and reduce species diversity by reducing consumer pressure on foundation species.
Thus, the correct answer is 'Predators.'
Question 10
1 / -0

Extinction of numerous wild animals is due to

A
Hunting

B
Deforestation

C
Overcrowding

D
Scarcity of food

Solution

Deforestation refers to destruction of forest by extensive cutting of trees, since wild animals live in forests, they lose their habitat which leads to extinction of species
So, the correct answer is 'Deforestation'
