Exploring molecular, genetic and species-level diversity for products of economic importance is called as:
| 1. | Molecular pharming | 2. | rDNA technology |
| 3. | Bioprospecting | 4. | Bioharvesting |
We all know that water hyacinth is an invasive plant that has caused havoc in many water bodies in our country. But it has some usefulness as well. This includes:
I. Substrate for biogas production
II. Bio cleaning of industrial waters
III. Source of effective antipyretic

| 3. | Only II and III | 4. | I, II and III |
Zygogrammabicolorata is:
1. an invasive species in India that has disrupted many aquatic ecosystems
2. a beetle introduced in India to biocontrol carrot grass
3. a very important decomposers in polar regions
4. a threatened species of amphibian in western ghats of India
Parthenium hysterophorus:
| I: | is also called as carrot grass or the gajar grass. |
| II: | is a common invasive species in India and came as a contaminant with wheat |
| III: | produces allelopathic chemicals |
| IV: | produces pollens that are common cause of allergies in humans |
1. Only I, II and III are correct
2. Only I, II and IV are correct
3. Only II, III and IV are correct
4. I, II, III and IV are correct
In a co-evolved highly specific plant-pollinator obligatory mutualism, if one of the members gets extinct, the other most likely:
| 1. | would increase in number but the diversity in the population would reduce |
| 2. | would increase in number and the diversity in the population would increase |
| 3. | would decrease in number and the diversity in the population would reduce |
| 4. | also go extinct |
