The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks about the level at which a single species might show high biodiversity over its distributional range. This means we need to identify how a single species can exhibit diversity in different locations. 2. **Identifying the Levels of Diversity**: - **Genetic Level**: This refers to the variations within a species, such as different genetic traits or varieties. For example, within the species of mango, there are several varieties like Alphonso, Dasheri, etc. - **Species Level**: This level refers to the diversity of different species in a particular area. It does not apply to a single species but rather to multiple species. - **Ecosystem Level**: This level refers to the diversity found within different ecosystems (like forests, deserts, etc.), which again does not pertain to a single species. 3. **Analyzing Each Option**: - **Option 1 (Genetic Level)**: This option is correct because a single species can have various genetic variations across its distribution range. - **Option 2 (Species Level)**: This option is incorrect as it refers to multiple species, not just one. - **Option 3 (Ecosystem Level)**: This option is also incorrect because it refers to different ecosystems and not a single species. - **Option 4**: This option is incorrect for the same reasons as options 2 and 3. 4. **Conclusion**: The correct answer is that a single species might show high biodiversity over its distributional range at the genetic level. **Final Answer**: Option 1 (Genetic Level). ---

In the tropical rainforest, the majority of trees have showy animal-pollinated flowers. In temperate forests the majority of trees are wind pollinated. Which factors best explain these contrasting patterns ? (i) Wind is rare in tropical forests. (ii) Because of high species diversity in the tropics, individuals of trees species are often widely separated making wind an inefficient means of pollen dispersal. (iii) More opportunities for coevolved mutualisms exist in tropical forests because of the high diversity of animal species. (iv) Trees in tropical forests are mostly evergreen and year-round leaf canopies impede pollen dispersal by wind. (v) Flowering in tropical forests occurs over a short period of time when wind is absent. (a) (i) , (ii) and (v) (b) (i),(iii) and (v) (c) (ii), (iii) and (iv) (d) (ii) and (iv)

What is so special about tropics that might account for their greater biological diversity? a. Unlike temperate regions subjected to frequent glaciations in the past, tropical latitudes have remained relatively undisturbed for millions of years and thus, had a long evolutionary time for species diversification. b. Temperate environments, unlike tropical ones, are less seasonal, relatively more constant and predictable. Such constant environments promote niche specialization and lead to a greater species diversity. c. There is more solar energy available in the tropics, which contributes to higher productivity, this in turn might contribute indirectly to greater diversity.
