1. small in size but multiple in number
2. large ones are better than small-sized ones
3. the size is less important than the number
4. size and number are irrelevant
The dramatic increase in the population of Nile perch in Lake Victoria was due to:

The peregrine falcon in the United States got extinct due to:
| 1. | loss of habitat | 2. | pesticides |
| 3. | loss of food supply | 4. | predation |
The species that are vulnerable to extinction do not include the species that:
1. have high genetic variability
2. are hunted or harvested by people
3. have a declining population size
4. are local endemic species
The current extinction is called a ‘biodiversity crisis’ because:
1. the extinctions are not a natural phenomenon
2. the rates are high and is due to the human activities
3. the extinction is mainly affecting animals rather than plants
4. only keystone species are being lost

The most serious negative impact of loss of biodiversity on humans would be due to:
1. global warming and ozone depletion.
2. loss of ecosystem services.
3. loss of source of genetic diversity to preserve endangered species.
4. loss of species for ʺbioprospecting.ʺ
