Genetic diversity in agricultural crops is threatened by

(1) introduction of high yielding varieties

(2) intensive use of fertilizers

(3) extensive intercropping

(4) intensive use of biopesticides.

In India, we find mangoes with different flavours, colours, fibre content, sugar content and even shelf-life. The large variation is on account of  

(1)  species diversity    

(2)  induced mutations    

(3)  genetic diversity    

(4)  hybridisation.

Which one has the largest species variety in India ?

(1) Wheat

(2) Maize

(3) Rice

(4) Potato

Different varieties of Indian mangoes are most popular in Western and some other European countries. The varieties with different flavour, colour, sugar and fleshy content is due to

(1) genetic diversity

(2) species diversity

(3) induced mutation

(4) hybridisation

IUCN stands for

(1) Indian Union for Conservation of Nature

(2) International Union for Conservation of Nature

(3) Indian Union for Chemical Nomenclature

(4) International Union for Conservation of Nutrients

Diversity can be understood by which of the following terminology?
