Species listed in Red Data Book are

  1. Vulnerable

  2. Threatened

  3. Endangered

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The species (including animals, plants, fungi, etc.) which are vulnerable to endangerment in the near future are known as threatened species. The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) is the authority on threatened species, and it treats threatened species as a group of three categories, depending on the degree relative to which they are threatened. Those categories are Vulnerable species; Endangered species and Critically endangered species. As per the Red list of 2000, there are 11,096 threatened species

So, the correct answer is 'All of the above'

The Red Data Book records

  1. Species diversity of wet lands

  2. List of water pollutants

  3. List of threatened species

  4. Rate of population decline


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The International Union for Conservation of Nature is an international organization which works in the area of the conservation of nature and sustainable use of natural resources. The Red Book is a state document which is established for documenting rare and endangered species of animals, plants, and fungi, as well as some local subspecies. The species (including animals, plants, fungi, etc.) which are vulnerable to endangerment in the near future are known as threatened species. IUCN treats threatened species as a group of three categories, depending on the degree relative to which they are threatened. Those categories are Vulnerable species; Endangered species and Critically endangered species. 

So, the correct answer is 'List of threatened species'.

Red data book is a record of endangered

  1. Endangered plants only

  2. Endangered animals only 

  3. Endangered plant and animals

  4. All plant and animals that are living


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Red Data Book is a public document which was created for the recording of endangered and rare species including plants, animals, fungi as well as some local species which are present in the states or country.

So the answer is  'Endangered plants and animals'.

Red data book keeps a record of:

  1. endangered plants, animals and other species

  2. endemic plants,animals and other species

  3. extinct plants,animals and other species

  4. imbalanced species

  5. None of these


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The Red Data contains a complete list of threatened species of living organisms.

So, the correct option is 'endangered plants, animals and other species'.

Red data book contains data of

  1. all plant species

  2. all animal species

  3. economically important species

  4. threatened species


Correct Option: D

Students were taken to a museum on an educational trip. Which one of the following documents will provide the information on endangered animals and plants?

  1. Data book

  2. Atlas

  3. Red data book

  4. Dictionary


Correct Option: C
Explanation:
A red data book contains lists of species whose continued existence is threatened. Species are classified into different categories of perceived risk. Each red data book usually deals with a specific group of animals or plants. They are now being published in many different countries and provide useful information on the threat status of the species
So, the correct answer is 'Red data book'

The taxa believed likely to join the endangered category in near future is called as

  1. Extinct

  2. Rare

  3. Vulnerable

  4. Out

  5. Living fossil


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

A vulnerable species can be defined as the species of animals or plants, which are likely to become endangered unless something changes. Something has to be done to remove the things, that are harmful to their survival, and their rate of reproduction needs to increase. There are 8,565 species listed as vulnerable on the IUCN 'Red List'.

Red data book is for enlisting

  1. Endemic species

  2. Decorative plants

  3. Exotic species

  4. Plants on verge of extinction


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

'Red Data Book is also known as 'Red Book' or 'Russian Red Data Book'. It is a state document established for documenting rare and endangered species of animals, plants and fungi, as well as some local subspecies that exist within the territory of the 'Russian Federation' and its continental shelf and marine economic zone. The book has been adopted by Russia and all CIS states to enact a common agreement on rare and endangered species protection. The book provides a central information source in organizing studies and monitoring programs on rare and endangered species and their habitats. It is regularly consulted when developing and implementing special measures for the protection and rehabilitation of such species.

'Red Data Book' provides information of

  1. Threatened species

  2. Biota of Red Sea

  3. World flora

  4. World fauna


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

'Red Data Book' provides information on threatened species.

A Red Data Book contains lists of all the species whose continued existence is threatened. Species are classified into different categories of perceived risk. Each Red Data Book usually deals with a specific group of animals or plants (e. reptiles, insects, mosses). They are now being published in many different countries and provide useful information on the threat status of the species. 
The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species (also known as the IUCN Red List or Red Data List), founded in 1964, is the world's most comprehensive inventory of the global conservation status of biological species. The International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) is the world's main authority on the conservation status of species.

What is Red Data Book?

  1. Red coloured book

  2. Book that maintains an international list of all endangered animal and plant species

  3. Book that maintains an international list of all endangered animal species

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The Red Data Book is a list of endangered species. It is released by ICUN (The International Union for Conservation of Nature). It was first released in 1963.

A Red Data Book contains lists of species whose continued existence is threatened. Species are classified into different categories of perceived risk. Each Red Data Book usually deals with a specific group of animals or plants (reptiles, insects, mosses). They are now being published in many different countries and provide useful information on the threat status of the species. 
The red-listing assessment is a simple logical process to determine the status of the threat to a species based on available information.
