Which one of the given species has more numbers than the combined total number of rest of the other given species? |
Fungi Algae Lichens Ferns and allies |
Fungi |
The correct answer is Option (1) → Fungi More than 70 per cent of all the species recorded are animals, while plants (including algae, fungi, bryophytes, gymnosperms and angiosperms) comprise no more than 22 per cent of the total. Among animals, insects are the most species-rich taxonomic group, making up more than 70 per cent of the total. That means, out of every 10 animals on this planet, 7 are insects. The number of fungi species in the world is more than the combined total of the species of fishes, amphibians, reptiles and mammals. |
