Q-Examples of biopiracy include recent patents granted by the U.S. Patent and Trademarks Office to American companies on turmeric, 'neem' and, most notably, 'basmati' rice
Q-the discorders of nervous system:-
Parkinson's disease.
Multiple sclerosis (MS).
Q-Usually three levels of biodiversity are discussed—genetic, species, and ecosystem diversity. Genetic diversity is all the different genes contained in all individual plants, animals, fungi, and microorganisms
Q1.]What are the examples of biopiracy.
(i.) PATENTING OF NEEM:-
- Indians have share the knowledge of the properties of the neem with the entire world.
- A US company has been using Indian companies for producing the emulsion because they have patent on the process.
- The people of India in a variety of ways have used neem, since time immemorial
- The PATENTING of the fungicidal properties of neem was an example of Biopiracy.
(ii) PATENTING OF BASMATI RICE:-
- India is known as the second largest producer of rice after China.
- Dr. Vandana Shiva, The director of Delhi based research Foundation. she monitors all the issues of Biopiracy and patents.
- An American company named their rice company as RiceTec Inc and wanted to go in international markets. they named their Basmati as 'Texmati' and 'Kasmati'.
- However, with the Basmati patent rights, RiceTec will now be able to not only call it's aromatic Basmati rice within the US, but also label it Basmati for exports

Q2.]What are the disorders of nervous system.
(i) Alzheimer's Disease:-
- It is a very big neurological disorder which causes the brain to shrine and all the cells inside the brain die. Due to Alzheimer's Disease , the most common cause is dementia.
(ii) Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis:-
- It is a type of Nervous system disease which weakens the muscles and impacts physical functions. It mainly involves the nerve cells. It is also known as Lou Gehrig's Disease.

(iv) Parkinson's Disease:-
- Progressive disease in which cells in one of the movement control centers of the brain begin to die, resulting in a loss of control over speech and head and body movements.

Q3.] Explain the levels of biodiversity.
There are Three levels of Biodiversity.
- Genetic Diversity
- Species Diversity
- Ecosystem Diversity
(1.) Genetic Diversity :-
- It is the genetic variation within a population of all the alleles of the genes in a population. It is diversity within species that is variation of genes within the species.
example - Rice, Teak, Burma, etc
(2.) Species Diversity:-
- It contains both the number of individuals and the number of species. It is within a community or ecosystem. There are different kinds of organisms, relationship among species
(3.) Ecosystem Diversity:-
- It is the variety of habitats, natural communities and ecological processes in the biosphere. Richness and complexity of biological community.
