| 1. | I and II only | 2. | I and III only |
| 3. | II and III only | 4. | I, II and III |
Who, amongst the following, was the earliest to attempt a more scientific basis of classification?

1. Prokaryote cell type
2. Cellulosic cell wall
3. Absence of nuclear membrane
4. Cellular body organization
Phylogenetic classification is based on:
| 1. | Morphological similarities | 2. | Physiological similarities |
| 3. | Reproductive similarities | 4. | Evolutionary relationships |

| 1. | Two kingdoms | 2. | Three kingdoms |
| 3. | Four kingdoms | 4. | Five kingdoms |

| 1. | Ameoba proteus | 2. | Chlamydomonas |
| 3. | Gonyaulax | 4. | Chlorella |
Methanogens are commonly present in:
1. Alimentary canal of the lower invertebrates
