Question

Select the incorrect statement about biodiversity.

• A. Increases from high to low latitudes
• B. Decrease in biodiversity promotes niche specialization
• C. Habitat destruction or loss is the primary cause for the loss of biodiversity
• D. Amount of energy decrease at successive tropic level

Answer 1

The correct option is B Decrease in biodiversity promotes niche specialization

Within a habitat, organisms "occupy" a niche. A niche is the function or occupation, of a life-form within a community. The variation of life determines the biodiversity of an ecosystem. The biodiversity of an ecosystem reflects the variety and abundance of plant and animal species within it. Increase in biodiversity promotes niche specialization.
