In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :
| Assertion (A): | There is a steady increase in species richness from the arctic to the tropics. |
| Reason (R): | Seasonal variation is substantially more in tropics than in arctics. |
| 1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
| 2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |

Consider the two statements:
| I: | Species diversity seen in tropical areas is much lower than that seen in temperate areas. |
| II: | Temperate areas, unlike tropical areas are less seasonal, more constant and promote niche specialization. |
1. Both I and II are correct and II explains I.
2. Both I and II are correct but II does not explain I.
3. I is correct but II is incorrect.
4. Both I and II are incorrect.

How many of the given statements will be true regarding the graph showing species – area relationship?
| I. | Within a region, species richness decreases with increasing explored area. |
| II. | The rectangular hyperbola represents the relation between species richness and area for angiosperm plants, birds, bats and freshwater fishes, for example. |
| III. | Z represents the regression coefficient or the slope of the line. |
| IV. | The value of Z lies in the range of 0.1 to 0.2 regardless of the taxonomic group or the region. |
| V. | For frugivorous birds and mammals in the tropical forests of different continents, the slope is found to be 1.15. |
| VI. | If the species area relationship is analysed for very large areas, the slope of the line is much steeper and Z value lies in the range of 0.6 to 1.2. |
| 1. | 3 | 2. | 4 |
| 3. | 5 | 4. | 6 |
