How many biodiversity hotspots are there in the world?

There are currently 34 biodiversity hotspots identified worldwide. This follows from NCERT principle where the relation explains the outcome clearly for students in simple steps.

Which of the following factors contributes most to habitat loss?

Agricultural expansion is a major cause of habitat destruction, leading to biodiversity loss. This follows from latest NCERT 2026-27 principle explaining the concept clearly for NEET students in simple steps as per rationalized syllabus.

What is the primary reason for the loss of biodiversity in tropical rainforests?

Deforestation for agriculture, logging, and urban expansion is the major cause of biodiversity loss in tropical rainforests. This follows from NCERT principle where the relation explains the outcome clearly for students in simple steps.

What is the primary cause of the loss of Amazon rainforest biodiversity?

Deforestation for agriculture, logging, and infrastructure development is the leading cause of biodiversity loss in the Amazon rainforest. This follows from NCERT principle where the relation explains the outcome clearly for students in simple steps.

Which of the following is NOT a reason for conserving biodiversity?

Monetary inflation is unrelated to biodiversity conservation, whereas utilitarian and ethical values justify conservation efforts. This follows from NCERT principle where the relation explains the outcome clearly for students in simple steps.

Which of the following is NOT an example of in situ conservation?

Zoological parks are an example of ex situ conservation, while national parks, wildlife sanctuaries, and biosphere reserves protect species in their natural habitats.

Ref: NCERT Biology Textbook for Class XI and XII (Botany section), Chapter: Biology - Botany portion covering relevant concept, Topic: Plant structure, physiology and applications.

Which of the following is an example of ex situ conservation?

Ex situ conservation involves removing species from their natural habitats, as done in botanical gardens. This follows from NCERT principle where the relation explains the outcome clearly for students in simple steps.

Which of the following is an incorrect statement about protected areas?

Protected areas are established for biodiversity conservation, not for industrial development. This follows from latest NCERT 2026-27 principle explaining the concept clearly for NEET students in simple steps as per rationalized syllabus.

Why does a dancer spin faster when pulling their arms closer to their body?

Pulling arms closer reduces the moment of inertia (I). With no external torque, angular momentum (L = Iω) is conserved, so ω increases as I decreases. As per NCERT, applying relevant law/formula with correct units and sign convention leads to Due to conservation of angular momentum. This satisfies dimensional consistency and physical conditions given, so option B is scientifically correct.
