Choose the correct answers from the alternatives given.
Most of biological diversity has probably arisen by:

  1. anagenesis

  2. cladogenesis

  3. sympatric speciation

  4. phyletic evolution


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Anagenesis and cladogenesis are the two main ways speciation occurs. One involved the slow transition of one species to another. Cladogenesis involved the separation of a species into two or more groups, with each group then becoming its own separate species.

Phyletic gradualism is a model of evolution which theorizes that most speciation is slow, uniform and gradual. When evolution occurs in this mode, it is usually by the steady transformation of a whole species into a new one.
Sympatric speciation is a geographic mode of speciation due to geographical isolation new species is form.
So correct answer is B, cladogenesis.

High concentration of $SO _{2}$, $NO _{2}$, $CO _{2}$, SPM in atmosphere, causes threats to

  1. Human health

  2. Environment

  3. Plants

  4. Soil


Correct Option: A

State whether the following statements are true or false.
Human intervention in natural community interactions usually makes the community more stable 

  1. True

  2. False


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Humans cause a lot of destruction to the natural world, through deforestation, starting forest fires, farming, and building things. So, when we destroy the environment making it unstable, we allow a new environment where secondary succession begins to take place. It is still slow, and habitats take hundreds of years to rebuild, and often are nothing like the habitat before it.

So, the given option is 'False'. 

Which ecosystem is very important for man to produce food and fiber?

  1. Man subsidized solar power ecosystem

  2. Unsubsidized natural solar powered ecosystem

  3. Naturally subsidized solar powered ecosystem

  4. Fuel power ecosystem


Correct Option: A

Global warming could cause a rise in the sea level because

  1. Oceans expand as they get warmer

  2. Glaciers and ice-sheets melt

  3. Both of the above

  4. None of these


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Melting of mass ice, glaciers around the world have caused increase in the sea level. The global warming is the main reason for the melting of ice, which are also a big reservoir of fresh water.
