Choose the activity that may contribute to the conservation of biodiversity

• Development of agriculture

• Reserve forest

• construction of dam

• water theme park

Elements that make up the biodiversity are

• Viruses, bacteria, fungi and plants

• Bacteria, fungi, sunlight and spores

• Plants, animals, fungi and bacteria

• soils, fungi, animals and viruses

Pick the ecosystem with the lowest biodiversity

• Tropical rain forest

• Savannah

• Desert

• Tundra

The advantage of biodiversity conservation does not cover the impact on

• Food supply

• Fresh air

• Industrial activities

• Medical discovery

Predict the impact of destroyed biodiversity

• Species extinction

• Genetic cloning

• Population growth

• Evolution

The study of biodiversity is made possible through

• Natural selection

• Classification system

• Binomial system

• Specific characters

The study of biodiversity through evolutionary relationships of organism to present time is called

• Taxonomy

• Systematics

• Phylogeny

• Homology

If frog have lung, lizards have both lung and claw, pigeons have lungs, claw and feather, predict the derived characteristic of lizards.

• Lung only

• Claw only

• Lung and claw

• Claw and feather

If frog have lung, lizards have both lung and claw, pigeons have lungs, claw and feather, predict the outgroup species with the evolution of claw.

• Pigeons

• Lizards

• Frogs

• None

The broadest taxon in the Hierarchy of Classification belongs to

• Kingdom

• Phylum

• Class

• Order
