(a) India has greater ecosystem diversity than norway .Do you agree with the statement? Given reasons in support of your answer
(b) Write the difference between genetic biodiversity and species biodiversity that exists at all the levels of biological orgainisation

Explanation

(a) India has greater ecosystem diversity than norway yes because of desert rain forest mangroves coral reefs wetlands estureaies and alphine meadows
(b) Genetic diversity:
(i)Genetic diversity is the total number of genetic characteristics in the genetic make up of a speicis
(ii) A single speices musght show high diversity at the genitc level (e.g chinese indian american african) etc india has more than 50000 genetically different strains of rice and 1000 varities of mango.
(iii) Genetic diversity allows species to adopt to changing environments .This diversity aims to ensure that some species survive drastic changes and thus carry on disirable genes.
specific diversity :
(i) It is the ratio of one species population over total number of organisms across all species in the givben biome zero would be infinete diversity and one represents only one speices present
(ii) Species diversity is a measure of the diversity within an ecological community that incorporated both species richness (the number of speices in a community ) and the evenesss of speices
(iii) For example the western Ghats have a greater amplhibian speices diversity than the eastern ghats .there are more than 200000 species in india of which several are confined to indian (endemic)
