A plant, that has invaded many forest lands in India and is also known as Spanish Flag or Red sage, is:

1.	Lantana camara	2.	Eicchornia
3.	Parthenium argentatum	4.	Argemone mexicana

Which of the following characteristics does not make a species vulnerable to extinction?
1. a large body size
2. small population size and low reproductive rates
3. feeding at a lower trophic level in the food chain
4. fixed migratory route and habitat

A taxon is considered “critically endangered” if it faces a high risk of extinction in the wild in:

The first National Park established in India, the place where project tiger was started in 1972, is in:

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.
