| Assertion (A): | Large islands near the mainland will have more species than smaller islands more distant from the mainland. |
| Reason (R): | The species richness of an island is determined by colonization and extinction. |
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :
| 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. | Both (A) and (R) are false. |
- If both the assertion and the reason are true and the reason is a correct explanation of the assertion
- If both the assertion and reason are true but the reason is not a correct explanation of the assertion
- If the assertion is true but the reason is false
- If both the assertion and reason are false

Consider the two statements:
I. Biological control by an introduced control can affect biodiversity.
II. An introduced control does not always target only the intended pest species; it can also target native species.
1. Both I and II are correct and II explains I.
2. Both I and II are correct but II does not explain I.
3. I is correct but II is incorrect.
4. Both I and II are incorrect.
The high level of species diversity of the tropics can be due to all of the following except:
| 1. | predictability | 2. | predation |
| 3. | spatial homogeneity | 4. | high productivity |
