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 |
Regarding the gradients of biodiversity:
| I: | As we move from poles to the equator, broadly speaking, biodiversity decreases. |
| II: | There is an increase in species diversity from lower to higher altitudes. |
1. Only I is correct
2. Only II is correct
3. Both I and II are correct
4. Both I and II are incorrect

Consider three sample areas with the following composition:
| Sample area I: | has three species of birds, two are represented by one individual each and the third by four individuals |
| Sample area II: | has three species of birds, each represented by two individuals |
| Sample area III: | has a species of insects, a species of mammals and a species of birds, each with two individuals |
Which area will be considered as the most diverse?
1. Sample area I
2. Sample area II
3. Sample area III
4. Sample area II and Sample area III are equally diverse
| Assertion (A): | Ex-situ conservation, while helpful in humankind's efforts to sustain and protect our environment, is rarely enough to save a species from extinction. |
