. Prokaryotes have not been estimated in terms of biodiversity. Which of the following reasons does not hold true?

(1) Conventional taxonomic methods are not suitable for identifying microbial species

(2) Many species are simply not culturable under laboratory conditions

(3) Lichenes do not allow them to be assessed because of close association

(4) Both A and C

(1) 2.4, 12

(2) 2.4, 8.1

(3) 8.1, 12

(4) 8.1, 2.4

(1) It bears 2.4 per cent area of the world's land and has a share of 12 per cent of global species diversity

(2) It bears 2.4 per cent area of the world's land has a share of 8.1 per cent of the global species diversity

(3) It has several groups to protect environment which are not in other countries

(4) Government of India is aware of the loss of Biodiversity but other governments are not

(1) 45000 species of plants

(2) 50000 species of animals

(3) 90000 species of plants

(4) 45000 species of animals

(1) 22 per cent

(2) 78 per cent

(3) 30 per cent

(4) 50 per cent

(1) Around 50000

(2) More than 100000

(3) Around 40000

(4) More than 200000

(1) Latitudinal Gradients

(2) Species area relationship

(3) Fragmentation

(4) Both B and C

(1) Species diversity decreases as we move away from the equator towards the poles

(2) Species diversity increases as we move away from the equator towards the poles

(3) There are few exceptions to this pattern of Biodiversity

(4) Both A and C

(1) Tropics: latitudinal range 23.5 degree North to 23.5 degree South

(2) Tropics: 12.5 degree North to 12.5 degree South

(3) Polar regions: 12.5 degree North to 12.5 degree South

(4) Polar regions: 23.5 degree North to 23.5 degree South

(1) Colombia-1400

(2) New york-105

(3) Greenland-95

(4) India-1200
