What does biodiversity refer to?

• The number of different types of rocks in an area.

• The variety of life, including genes, species, and ecosystems, in a region.

• The total amount of water in a specific habitat.

• The different types of weather patterns in a climate zone.

What happens to the health of an ecosystem as biodiversity increases?

• It decreases.

• It stays the same.

• It increases.

• It becomes unpredictable.

The "Shirts R Us" analogy suggests that having a variety of products helps a business adapt to changing fashion. What does this analogy illustrate about biodiversity in an ecosystem?

• A diverse ecosystem is more likely to fail.

• A diverse ecosystem is better equipped to handle changes.

• A less diverse ecosystem is more stable.

• Ecosystems do not benefit from variety.

Which of the following lists the three main types of biodiversity?

• Plant, Animal, and Fungi diversity.

• Genetic, Species, and Ecosystem diversity.

• Forest, Ocean, and Desert diversity.

• Climate, Soil, and Water diversity.

What is genetic diversity?

• The variety of different species in an area.

• The variety of genes that control inheritable characteristics within a population or species.

• The different types of ecosystems found on Earth.

• The number of different habitats in a region.

Ladybugs come in various colors. This is an example of what type of diversity?

• Species diversity

• Ecosystem diversity

• Genetic diversity

• Habitat diversity

How does having greater genetic diversity impact a species?

• It makes the species less adaptable to changes.

• It increases the species' chances of survival.

• It reduces the number of individuals in the species.

• It has no effect on the species' survival.

What does species diversity measure?

• The variety of genes within a single species.

• The number of different ecosystems in a region.

• The number of species and their relative abundance in a community.

• The total amount of biomass in an area.

A forest containing many different types of mushrooms is an example of what?

• Genetic diversity

• Ecosystem diversity

• Species diversity

• Environmental diversity

Which of the following ecosystems is known for having high ecosystem diversity?
