Q:
Statement I :
In Tundra climate, biodiversity is comparatively less.
Statement II :
Tundra climate has less reproductive warm period.
Answer & Explanation
Answer: B) Both the statements are individually true but Statement II is not the correct explanation of Statement I
Explanation: Species richness is generally lower in the Arctic than at lower latitudes, and richness also tends to decline from the low to high Arctic.Many hypotheses have been advanced to explain the overall decline of biodiversity with increasing latitude, although there is still no consensus about a mechanistic explanation. Abiotic factors include lower available energy and area at high latitudes, and the relatively young age of Arctic ecosystems.
