| Assertion (A): | A region is designated as a biodiversity hotspot if it has rich species diversity and high degree of endemism. |
| Reason (R): | Biodiversity hotspots are areas with high biodiversity that are under no threat from human activities. |
| 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). |
| 3. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
| 4. | Both (A) and (R) are False. |
Consider the following two statements:
| I: | A biodiversity hotspot is a region with a high level of endemic species. |
| II: | Most hotspots are located in the tropics and most of them are forests. |
| 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. | I is incorrect but II is correct |
| Assertion (A): | In-situ conservation is preferred if the organism, needed to be protected, is facing a high threat of extinction. |
| Reason (R): | In-situ conservation is an on-site conservation where we conserve and protect the whole ecosystem. |
| 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) |
| 3. | (A) is True but (R) is False |
| 4. | (A) is False but (R) is True |
