Q. No.The term ‘systematics’ refers to:
1. Identification and classification of plants and animals
2. Nomenclature and identification of plants and animals
3. Diversity of kinds of organisms and their relationship
4. Different kinds of organisms and their classification
Taxonomy does not include:
| 1. Describing a new species | 2. Naming a new species |
| 3. Classifying organisms | 4. Discovering a new species |
Identify the incorrect statement regarding the rules of Binomial Nomenclature?
1. The names are derived from Latin or Latinized.
2. The first word in a biological name represents the genus while the second component denotes the specific epithet.
3. Both the words in a biological name, when handwritten, are written in italics, or printed separately underlined to indicate their Latin origin.
4. The first word denoting the genus starts with a capital letter while the specific epithet starts with a small letter.
ICBN stands for:
| 1. | Indian Council for Biological Nomenclature |
| 2. | International Code for Binomial Nomenclature |
| 3. | Indian Council for Binomial Nomenclature |
| 4. | International Code for Botanical Nomenclature |
The main difference between taxonomy and systematics is that:
| 1. | Taxonomy is involved in the naming and classification of organisms while systematics is involved in determining evolutionary relationships between organisms |
| 2. | Systematics is involved in the naming and classification of organisms while taxonomy is involved in determining evolutionary relationships between organisms |
| 3. | Taxonomy is not a true science and has largely been replaced with systematics |
| 4. | Systematics can be considered as a part of taxonomy |
The binomial system of nomenclature of living organisms was given by:
| 1. | Carl Woose | 2. | Copeland |
| 3. | Chatton | 4. | Carl Linnaeus |
The number of species that are known and described ranges between:
| 1. | 1.2 and 1.3 million | 2. | 1.4 and 1.5 million |
| 3. | 1.7 and 1.8 million | 4. | 2.1 and 2.2 million |
As we go from species to kingdom in a taxonomic hierarchy, the number of common characteristics:
| 1. | Will decrease | 2. | Will increase |
| 3. | Will remain same | 4. | May increase or decrease |
Which of the following ‘suffixes’ used for units of classification in plants indicates a taxonomic category of ‘family’.
| 1. | - Ales | 2. | - Onae |
| 3. | - Aceae | 4. | - Ae |
The taxonomic unit ‘Phylum’ in the classification of animals is equivalent to which hierarchical level in classification of plants?
| 1. | Class | 2. | Order |
| 3. | Division | 4. | Family |
