MAB stands for:
1. Marine Algal Biology
2. Manmade Air Banks
3. Man and Biosphere
4. Mother and Baby welfare scheme

In a biosphere reserve, active cooperation with local people is established in the:

The most effective means of conservation is to:
1. remove predators
2. preserve habitats
3. vaccinate against diseases
4. census the species during the breeding season

Species most vulnerable to extinction from human activities are those with:
1. low carrying capacities
2. high population growth rates
3. large niches
4. many natural predators

Agricultural biodiversity is conserved:
1. in ex-situ locations commonly in the form of gene banks
2. in ex-situ locations commonly in botanical gardens
3. in in-situ locations such as biosphere reserves
4. in in-situ locations in agricultural institute fields

The reasons to store seeds in a seed bank include all except:
1. To have available the genes that plant breeders need to increase yield, disease resistance, drought tolerance, nutritional quality, taste, etc. of crops.
2. To forestall loss of genetic diversity in rare plant species in an effort to conserve biodiversity ex-situ.
3. To preserve the historical and cultural value of plants not grown now.
4. To guard against biopiracy by limiting the use of seeds only in certain areas.

Recalcitrant seeds are:
1. seeds that do not survive drying and freezing during ex-situ conservation
2. seeds that can resist the effects of drying or temperatures less than 10 °C
3. can be stored for long periods
4. terminator seeds

Freezable specimens that can be preserved with cryopreservation include all except:

Which of the following continents has the highest biodiversity?

Which of the following is not a cause for the loss of biodiversity?
1. Destruction of habitat
2. Invasion by alien species
3. Keeping animals in zoological parks
4. Over-exploitation of natural resources
