Question

choose an incorrect statement.
a) the relation between species richness &area for a wide variety of taxa turns out to be a rectangular hyperbola b) the relation between species richness &area on a logarithmic scale the relation is a straight line c) for the species area relationships among very large area like the entire continents the slope of the line appears to be much steeper d) value of Z always keeps on changing for every toxanomic group or the region ​

Answer 1

The correct option is D. when we analyse relationship between species and area the value of Z for small areas ranges from 1.6 to 1.2

and for large area ranges from 0.1 to 0.2

Answer 2

The incorrect statement is (d) value of Z always keeps on changing for every toxanomic group or the region ​

Explanation:

• The values of z lies withinside the range of 0.1 to 0.2 regardless of the taxonomic group / the region.
• If the species-area relationship are analyzed amongst very big areas just like the complete continents, the value of Z, that is slope of line withinside  that range
• The Z is represented by the slope of range

Answer - incorrect statement is (d)
