The five kingdom classification was proposed by
1. | R. H. Whittaker | 2. | C. Linnaeus |
3. | A. Roxberg | 4. | Virchow |
In Linnaeus’ time, the number of Kingdoms of living organisms was
1. | 2 | 2. | 3 |
3. | 4 | 4. | 5 |
In the Two Kingdom classification, the Kingdom Plantae was erroneous with some major issues that include:
I: | Placing bacteria and blue green algae with eukaryotic groups |
II: | Grouping together the unicellular organisms with multicellular ones |
III: | Placing heterotrophic fungi with autotrophic plants |
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. | Aristotle | 2. | John Ray |
3. | Tournefort | 4. | Linnaeus |
Kingdom Monera in Whittaker’s Five Kingdom classification is not characterized by:
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 |
In Whittaker’s Five Kingdom classification, heterotrophic mode of nutrition is present in members of:
1. | Two kingdoms | 2. | Three kingdoms |
3. | Four kingdoms | 4. | Five kingdoms |
Which of the following organisms, earlier placed in Animal Kingdom, is placed under Kingdom Protista in Whittaker’s classification?
1. | Ameoba proteus | 2. | Chlamydomonas |
3. | Gonyaulax | 4. | Chlorella |
Methanogens are commonly present in:
1. Alimentary canal of the lower invertebrates
2. Symbiotic relationships with xerophytic plants
3. Gut of ruminant animals
4. Close associations with corals

D. Slime moulds | S. Two flagella, one long and one short |
A | B | C | D | |
1. | R | Q | S | P |
2. | Q | S | P | R |
3. | Q | R | S | P |
4. | R | S | Q | P |
