Teaching UGC NET Mock Test Series 2025 (Paper 1 & 2) Environmental Science Environmental Biology Biodiversity and Its Conservation
Given below are two statements - one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A): There is a general pattern of increase in biodiversity from equator to poles.
Reasons (R): Due to high level of energy received in tropics, higher is the net primary production, which in turn supports large number of individuals, leading to high biodiversity.
In the light of above two statements, choose the correct option:
1
Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
2
Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
3
(A) is true but (R) is false.
4
(A) is false but (R) is true.
