Biology Question 108 – NEET-UG 2024

← Back
The type of conservation in which the threatened species are taken out from their natural habitat and placed in special setting where they can be protected and given special care is called;

Conservation of biodiversity can be broadly categorized into two main types: in-situ and ex-situ conservation.

Step 1: Identify the Conservation Method Described✦ Active

The question describes a method where threatened species are removed from their natural habitat and given special care in a controlled environment. This is the definition of ex-situ conservation.

Step 2: Evaluate the Given Options○ Expand

Option (1) "Biodiversity conservation" is a broad term for the protection and management of biodiversity. Option (2) "Semi-conservative method" refers to DNA replication, which is unrelated to species conservation. Option (3) "Sustainable development" is an approach to development that meets present needs without compromising future generations, a broader concept than specific species conservation methods. Option (4) "in-situ conservation" refers to the conservation of species within their natural habitat, which is the opposite of the method described.

💡 Teacher's Secret Hint

Eliminate options that are clearly incorrect or irrelevant to the topic of conservation methods.

Step 3: Determine the Best Fit Among Available Options○ Expand

Since ex-situ conservation is not provided as a direct option, and options (2), (3), and (4) are either irrelevant or directly opposite to the description, option (1) "Biodiversity conservation" is the most appropriate choice. It represents the overarching goal or field under which ex-situ conservation methods fall, making it the 'best fit' among the given choices, despite the specific term being absent.

💡 Teacher's Secret Hint

When the most direct answer is not available, look for the broader category or the most closely related concept among the given options.
