Frequently asked questions
What is the most-tested distinction in this chapter?
In-situ conservation (national parks, biosphere reserves, sanctuaries) vs ex-situ conservation (seed banks, zoos, cryopreservation) — matching the right strategy to the right example is the dominant question type.
Are biodiversity hotspots in India asked about specifically?
Yes, at a basic level — knowing that India has multiple recognised hotspots (e.g. Western Ghats, Himalaya) is the kind of fact NEET tests directly.
Is the 'Evil Quartet' of biodiversity loss tested?
Yes — habitat loss, over-exploitation, alien species invasion, and co-extinction are commonly listed/matched in NEET questions on causes of biodiversity loss.
