Explanation / Answer

8) the answer is A) as due to introduction of a new species there will be a intraspecies competition and biodiversity is maintained due interspecies variation.

9) the answer is C) as the main role of taxonomist is to classify and name the species and document the hierarchy of the organisms.

10) the answer is A) as the plants were proved to be the most beneficial source of medicinal properties.

11) the answer is B) as the sustainable ecosystem is the one which thrives and strives itself without external influence so it is necessary to maintain the balanced relationship within the species.

12) the answer is A) as it is the search of finding the plants and animals according to their medicinal and commercial value.

13) the answer is A) as these hotspots are designed to protect dolphins as they may become endangered species.

14) the answer is D) as the loss of biodiversity results in the change in the climate and pollution which results in the availability of the food which cause the high pricing of the food and the poorest people in the developing nations Will be mostly affected.

15) the answer is A) as the only species will be conserved by human are those having some intrinsic value such as some medicinal value or are of some commercial importance having market value.

16) the answer is B) as the salmon is the food chain of various country people.
