NTA AbhyasNTA Abhyas 2020Biodiversity and Conservation

Solution:

Biodiversity is the term popularized by the sociobiologist Edward Wilson to describe the combined diversity at all levels of biological organization. Immense diversity (heterogeneity) exists in our biosphere, not only at the species level but at all the levels of biological organization ranging from the macromolecules within cells to biomes. The most important types of biodiversity are genetic diversity, species diversity and ecological diversity.
