Direction for: In each of the following questions a statement of Assertion is given followed by a corresponding statement of Reason just below it. Of the statements mark the correct answer as
Assertion With few exceptions tropics harbour more species than temperate or polar areas. Reason Species diversity decreases as we move away from the equator towards the poles.A) If both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
B) If both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion.
C) If Assertion is true but Reason is false.
D) If both Assertion and Reason are false.
Correct Answer: A
Solution :
As we know, the diversity of plants and animals is not uniform throughout the world and shows an uneven distribution but sometimes an interesting pattern has been found, such as species diversity decreases as we move away from the equator towards the poles. Columbia located near the equator has nearly 1, 400 species of birds, while New York at 41° N has 105 species and Greenland at 71° N only 56 species.
