Worked practice questions

A region grows more than 50,000 different strains of rice. This variety is an example of:

  1. Genetic diversity
  2. Species diversity
  3. Ecosystem diversity
  4. Latitudinal diversity
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: A. Genetic diversity

1. All the strains belong to one species, rice. 2. The variation is at the level of genes. 3. That is genetic diversity. _Source: syllabus Biology, Chapter 15, Biodiversity and Conservation._

India, with deserts, mangroves, coral reefs and alpine meadows, shows greater ___ diversity than Norway.

  1. Seasonal
  2. Ecosystem
  3. Genetic
  4. Molecular
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: B. Ecosystem

1. Each of these is a different ecosystem. 2. Norway has far fewer ecosystem types. 3. So India has greater ecosystem diversity. _Source: syllabus Biology, Chapter 15, Biodiversity and Conservation._
