1. A basic component of any ecological system is the (i)
2. Group of individuals of the same species, which can interbreed constitute a (ii)
3. A group of interacting populations is called a (iii)
4. (iv)
The correct option is B (i) Organism
(ii) Population
(iii) Community
(iv) Biomes
An ecosystem is an integrated functional unit that consists of many successive levels of the organization. The basic component or the lowest level in this hierarchy is the organism. An interbreeding group of organisms of the same species is called a population. A group of interacting populations forms a community. A community and its physical environment together form the ecosystem. When many ecosystems that are similar to each other interact with each other on a large scale, it is called a biome. Hence, biomes are ecological areas with similar fauna and flora adapting to similar conditions.
