Weekly Quiz Competition
  • Question 1
    1 / -0
    Plant species on verge of extinction due to over-exploitation is
    Solution

    When there are no more individuals of a species (plant or animal) alive anywhere in the world, the species is said to be extinct. A decrease in the species diversity progresses to extinction if left uncontrolled. Extinction is also known as the process of dying out. 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 over-exploitation, large body size, small population, massive habitat loss and position at a higher trophic level favor extinction. A plant podophyllum is at the verge of extinction due to over-exploitation. So, the correct answer is 'Podophyllum'.

  • Question 2
    1 / -0
    Identify the correct match for tiger reserve and its state.
    Solution
    A) Palamau tiger reserve is situated in Jharkhand, India.
    B) Bandipur National Park is situated in karnataka, India.
    C) Manas National Park is situated in Assam, India.
    D) Corbett National park is Uttarakhand, India.
    So, the correct answer is 'Manas - Assam'.
  • Question 3
    1 / -0
    An in situ method of conservation is
    Solution
    A) Ex-situ conservation is done by preserving the components of biological diversity outside their natural habitats. It is done by conserving genetic resources, as well as wild and cultivated or species. Examples include Gene banks, Microbial cultures, etc.
    B) In-situ conservation is done by conserving the species in their natural habitats. It is the best way of biodiversity conservation. Examples include Sacred groves, National parks, etc.
    So, the correct answer is 'National park'.
  • Question 4
    1 / -0
    A species spread over a large tract with varied environmental conditions will have
    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. A species spread over a large tract with varied environmental conditions will have higher genetic diversity.
    So, the correct answer is 'Higher genetic diversity'.
  • Question 5
    1 / -0
    Which is mainly responsible for extinction of wildlife?
    Solution
    When there are no more individuals of a species (plant or animal) alive anywhere in the world, the species is said to be extinct. Extinction is also known as the process of dying out. 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. As forests are the main habitat for the wild animals, their loss favors the extinction of the same.
    So, the correct answer is 'Destruction of habitats'.
  • Question 6
    1 / -0
    Dachigam sanctuary is associated with conservation of
    Solution
    Dachigam sanctuary is located in Srinagar and is associated with the conservation of Hangul/Kashmir Stag. A naturally occurring sanctuary, such as an island, which protects species from getting hunted, predated or poached is called as a wildlife refuge. It is also known as a wildlife sanctuary. Being a protected area, it is a geographic territory within which wildlife is protected. Private operations are limited in such areas.
    So, the correct answer is 'Hangul/Kashmir Stag'.
  • Question 7
    1 / -0
    Silent valley having rare plants and animals is located in
    Solution
    Silent valley national park is the second largest national park in Kerala. Very rare species of flora and fauna can be found here. This place is home to the largest population of lion-tailed macaques, an endangered species of primates. Its actual location lies in the Nilgiri hills, within Mannarkkad of Palakkad District of Kerala, South India. 
    So, the correct answer is 'Kerala'.
  • Question 8
    1 / -0
    India became a party to convention on biological diversity in
    Solution

    The Earth Summit of Rio de Janeiro, also known as the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED), was held in Rio de Janeiro from 3 to 14 June 1992. It resulted in the Convention on Biodiversity, a multilateral treaty. Three major goals were addressed in this convention which included: conservation of biodiversity; sustainable use of its components; and the fair and equitable sharing of benefits arising from the genetic resources. India became a party to Convention on Biological Diversity in '1994'.
    So, the correct answer is '1994'.
  • Question 9
    1 / -0
    In India, we find mangoes with different flavours, colours, fibre content, sugar content and shelf life. The large variation is due to 
    Solution
    Genetic diversity represents the total number of genetic characteristics in the genetic makeup of a species. Whereas, the genetic variability describes the tendency of genetic characteristics to vary. This diversity lets the population adapt to changing environments. For example, In India, we find mangoes with different flavors, colors, fiber content, sugar content and shelf life. The great variation is due to the genetic diversity.
    So, the correct answer is 'Genetic diversity'.
  • Question 10
    1 / -0
    Which one is correct pair?
    Solution
    A) Nagarjuna Sagar Sanctuary is located in Andhra Pradesh.
    B) Periyar Sanctuary is located in Kerala.
    C) Gir National Park is located in Gujarat.
    D) Corbett National Park is located in Uttarakhand.
    So, the correct answer is 'Nagarjuna Sagar Sanctuary - Andhra Pradesh'.
