A collection of plants and seeds having diverse alleles of all the genes of a crop is called
germplasm
gene library
genome
herbarium
A.
germplasm
A germplasm is a collection of genetic resources for organisms. For plants, the germplasm may be stored as a seed collection.It includes diverse alleles of all the genes of an organism.

A location with luxuriant growth of lichens on the trees indicates that the
trees are very healthy
trees are heavily infested
the location is highly polluted
location is not polluted
D.
location is not polluted
The situation suggests that the site is no polluted as lichens are the bioindicators for air pollution. These are the living organisms that respond in an especially clear way to a change in the environment. Te lichens are useful indicators of especially SO2 pollution because they derive their water and essential nutrients mainly from the atmosphere rather than from the soil.
A species facing extremely high risk of extinction in the immediate future is called
Vulnerable
endemic
critically endangered
extinct
C.
critically endangered
The extremely highest risk category assigned by the IUCN Red List for wild species is critically endangered species. These are those species that are facing a very high risk of extinction in the wild. There are currently 2129 animals and 1821 plants which have been recorded in this category.
An example of ex-situ conservation is
National Park
Seed bank
wildlife Sanctuary
Sacred Grove
B.
Seed bank
Ex -situ or off-site conservation is the process of protecting endangered species fo plants and animals outside their natural habitat. This involves the conservation of genetic resources as well as species, Its example included seed banks, filed microbial culture collection, etc.
Biodiversity of a geographical region represents
endangered species found in the region
the diversity in the organism living in the region
genetic diversity present in the dominant species of the region
species endemic to the region
B.
the diversity in the organism living in the region
Biodiversity is the term popularised by the sociobiologist Edward Wilson to describe the combined diversity at all the levels of biological organisation. The most important of the are genetic diversity, species diversity and ecological diversity.
