Biodiversity and Conservation
Biology ⇒ Ecology and Environment
Biodiversity and Conservation starts at 7 and continues till grade 12.
QuestionsToday has an evolving set of questions to continuously challenge students so that their knowledge grows in Biodiversity and Conservation.
How you perform is determined by your score and the time you take.
When you play a quiz, your answers are evaluated in concept instead of actual words and definitions used.
See sample questions for grade 12
Describe how habitat corridors can help in biodiversity conservation.
Describe the impact of invasive species on native biodiversity.
Describe the main objectives of the Ramsar Convention.
Describe the role of keystone species in maintaining ecosystem stability.
Describe two main differences between in-situ and ex-situ conservation methods.
Explain how climate change can impact biodiversity.

Fill in the blank: The _______ approach to conservation focuses on protecting entire ecosystems rather than individual species.
Fill in the blank: The _______ effect occurs when a small population loses genetic diversity due to random events.
Fill in the blank: The _______ hotspot concept was first proposed by Norman Myers to identify regions with high levels of biodiversity under threat.
Fill in the blank: The _______ hypothesis suggests that greater biodiversity leads to greater ecosystem stability.
True or False: Biosphere reserves are areas designated to promote sustainable development and conservation of biodiversity.
True or False: Conservation of biodiversity is only important for developing countries.
True or False: Endemic species are found only in a particular geographic region and nowhere else.
True or False: Genetic diversity refers to the variety of genes within a single species.
