1. | Class | 2. | Order |
3. | Division | 4. | Family |
Match the following and choose the correct option:
A. Family | i. tuberosum |
B. Kingdom | ii. Polynomiales |
C. Order | iii. Solanum |
D. Species | iv. Plantae |
E. Genus | v. Solanacea |
i | ii | iii | iv | v | |
1. | D | C | E | B | A |
2. | E | D | B | A | C |
3. | D | E | B | A | C |
4. | E | C | B | A | D |
In plant taxonomy, the most inclusive category will be:
1. | Kingdom | 2. | Division |
3. | Class | 4. | Order |
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 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 |
The book Systema Naturae was authored by:
1. | Linnaeus | 2. | Theophrastus |
3. | Aristotle | 4. | Bentham and Hooker |
Both cats and dogs belong to same:
1. | species | 2. | genus |
3. | family | 4. | order |
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 |
If two living animals belong to the same phylum, they must belong to the same:
1. | Class | 2. | Genus |
3. | Kingdom | 4. | Family |
