Biodiversity Patterns
High-Yield Trend
Questions 5 MCQs
Which one of the following has maximum genetic diversity in India?
1. Teak
2. Mango
3. Wheat
4. Tea
Alexander Von Humboldt described for the first time:
1. Laws of limiting factor
2. Species-Area relationships
3. Population Growth equations
4. Ecological Biodiversity
According to Alexander von Humboldt :
| 1. | Species richness decreases with increasing area of exploration |
| 2. | Species richness increases with the increasing area, but only up to a limit |
| 3. | There is no relationship between species richness and the area explored |
| 4. | Species richness goes on increasing with increasing area of exploration |
| A: | Tropical latitudes have remained relatively undisturbed for millions of years, hence more time was available for species diversification. |
| B: | Tropical environments are more seasonal. |
| C: | More solar energy is available in tropics. |
| D: | Constant environments promote niche specialization. |
| E: | Tropical environments are constant and predictable. |
| 1. | A, B and E only |
| 2. | A and B only |
| 3. | A, B and D only |
| 4. | A, C, D and E only |
| List-I | List-II | ||
| A. | Robert May | I. | Species-Area relationship |
| B. | Alexander von Humboldt | II. | Long term ecosystem experiment using outdoor plots |
| C. | Paul Ehrlich | III. | Global species diversity is about 7 million |
| D. | David Tilman | IV. | Rivet Popper hypothesis |
| 1. | A-III, B-I, C-IV, D-II | 2. | A-I, B-III, C-II, D-IV |

Preparing Biodiversity Patterns for NEET
Biodiversity Patterns is a specific sub-topic that frequently appears in the NEET examination. Understanding the underlying principles and practicing targeted questions is key to mastering this concept.
The questions compiled above are previous year questions (PYQs) directly related to Biodiversity Patterns. Practicing these specific questions helps you understand the difficulty level and the examiner's approach to this topic.
Topic Frequently Asked Questions
Is Biodiversity Patterns a high-weightage topic?
You can refer to the priority and consistency badges at the top of this page. High priority topics should be thoroughly revised multiple times before the exam.
Should I memorize the solutions?
No, it is highly recommended to understand the core concept and methodology behind each solution rather than memorizing them, as exact questions are rarely repeated, but the concepts definitely are.
