NEET Biology question
Each question contains ASSERTION (Assertion) and REASON (Reason). Each question has the 4 choices (a), (b), (c) and (d) out of which ONLY ONE is correct. **Assertion:** If the species-area relationships are analyzed among very large areas like the entire continents, the value of Z, i.e., slope of line, lies in the range of 0.1 to 0.2. **Reason:** The value of Z, i.e., slope of line of species area relationships, lies in the range of 0.6 to 1.2 when analysis is done among very large areas like entire continents.
Solution
According to NCERT Class 12 Biology (Chapter 15, page 262), ecologists have found that the slope () of the species-area relationship lies in a narrow range of about 0.1 to 0.2 for smaller/regional areas, regardless of the taxonomic group or region, whereas a much steeper range of about 0.6 to 1.2 is seen only when
