NEET Botany (general) Match the Following Question
Match Column-I with Column-II.
Column-I Column-II (a) Species richness in tropics (i) Higher productivity due to solar energy (b) Alexander von Humboldt's observation (ii) Increased explored area leads to more species (c) Stable community attributes (iii) Resistance to disturbances (d) Fungi species diversity (iv) More species than vertebrates
Choose the correct matching:
a-i, b-ii, c-iii, d-iv
a-ii, b-i, c-iv, d-iii
a-iii, b-iv, c-i, d-ii
a-iv, b-iii, c-ii, d-i
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Tropical regions have higher species richness due to greater solar energy availability, which contributes to productivity (a-i). Humboldt noted that species richness increases with explored area (b-ii). A stable community can resist disturbances (c-iii). The Fungi group indeed has more species than all vertebrates combined (d-iv).
