I: | is a largely tropical rainforest in South Africa |
II: | has the greatest biodiversity on Earth |
III: | produces about 20% of total oxygen in the earth’s atmosphere through photosynthesis |
1. | Only I and II are correct |
2. | Only I and III are correct |
3. | Only II and III are correct |
4. | I, II and III are correct |
Assertion (A): | Tilman found that plots with more species showed less year-to-year variation in total biomass |
Reason (R): | He showed in his experiment that increased diversity contributed to higher productivity. |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and the (R) is the correct explanation of the (A). |
2. | Both (A) and (R) are True and the (R) is not the correct explanation of the (A). |
3. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
4. | Both (A) and (R) are False. |
Assertion (A): | Paul Ehrlich explained the essentiality· of biodiversity for ecosystem health. |
Reason (R): | According to Paul Ehrlich, airplane and rivets are analogy to ecosystem and species respectively |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and the (R) is the correct explanation of the (A). |
2. | Both (A) and (R) are True and the (R) is not the correct explanation of the (A). |
3. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
4. | Both (A) and (R) are False. |
Assertion (A): | Ecosystems with higher species richness tend to be more stable and resilient to disturbances. |
Reason (R): | Higher species richness reduces competition among species, leading to ecosystem stability. |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) explains (A). |
