2. Maize
3. Mango
4. Groundnut
Which one of the following has maximum genetic diversity in India?

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.
Beta diversity is diversity
| 1. | in a community |
| 2. | between communities |
| 3. | in a mountain gradient |
| 4. | on a plain |
Which one has the largest species variety in India ?
(1) Wheat
(2) Maize
(3) Rice
(4) Potato
Dust, oolong and brick are varieties of
| 1. | coffee | 2. | pepper |
| 3. | tea | 4. | lavang. |
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
