Q. No.The diversity of plants and animals is not uniform throughout the world but shows a rather uneven distribution. What will be true in this regard?
1. Only I is correct
2. Only II is correct
3. Both I and II are correct

| I: | In general, species diversity decreases as we move away from the equator towards the poles. |
| II: | With very few exceptions, tropics harbour more species than temperate or polar areas. |
