Decline in the population of Indian native fishes due to introduction of Clarias gariepinus in river Yamuna can be categorised as
1 Alien species invasion
2 Co-extinction
3 Habitat fragmentation
4 Over exploitation
Explanation:
Four major causes of biodiversity loss (The Evil quartet) are habitual loss and fragmentation, over exploitation, Co-extinction and alien species invasions. - Sometimes the aliens species (non - native species) which are introduced into a habitual intentionally, reproduce rapidly, consuming the resources or preying on native species which leads to a decline of the native species. Clarias gariepinus is an alien species for the communities in Yamuna.

Exploration of molecular, genetic and species level diversity for novel products of economic importance is known as :
1 Bioprospecting
2 Biopiracy
3 Bioenergetics
4 Bioremediation
Explanation:
Exploration of molecular, genetic and species level diversity for novel products of economic importance is known as Bio-prospecting. Bioprospecting also known as biodiversity prospecting, is the exploration of biological material for commercially valuable genetic and biochemical properties. This means the investigation of living things to see how they can be commercially useful to humans. - A nation with rich biodiversity can receive enormous benefits through Bioprospecting. For example :- The opium poppy is used for morphine which is a powerful pain reliever.

Which of the following represents maximum number of species among global biodiversity?
1 Mosses and Ferns
2 Algae
3 Lichens
4 Fungi
Explanation:
Fungi represent the maximum number of species among global biodiversity. Fungi have a worldwide distribution, and grow in a wide range of habitats, including extreme environments such as deserts or areas with high salt concentration or ionizing radiation, as well as in deep sea sediments. Fungi are very large and diverse kingdom. They live in symbiotic relations with almost every organism. They make up the largest part of the biodiversity. Thus fungi has the highest species diversity among all the plant groups.

Which of the following pairs of an animal and a plant represents endangered organisms in India-
1 Bentinckia nicobarica and Red Panda.
2 Tamarind and Rhesus monkey.
3 Cinchona and Leopard.
4 Banyan and Black buck.
Explanation:
Endangered organisms are those which are most likely to get extinct in the future due to the factors such as habitat loss, poaching, invasive species etc. - These species which are near extinction in the future are known as endangered species. IUCN is the International Union Of Conservation Of Nature which is the authority for these threatened species and they have classified these threatened species as of a group of three categories which are :- - Vulnerable species- These are vulnerable to get extinct but they have less chances to get extinct very early as compared to the endangered species. - Endangered species- These are likely to get extinct in the near future. - Critically endangered species- These are critically endangered that they are at most risk of early extinction. - Bentincka nicobarica and Red Panda. Both of these are declared as endangered species in India.
