Assertion (A): | Higher the taxonomic category, greater is the difficulty of determining the relationship to other taxa at the same level. |
Reason (R): | The higher taxonomic categories are more exclusive and the lower taxonomic categories are more inclusive in nature. |

3. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) correctly explains (A) |
4. | (A) is False but (R) is True |
Statement I: | Categories like species, genus and families are based on the aggregates of characters. |
Statement II: | Order and other higher taxonomic categories are identified based on a number of similar characters. |
I: | vegetative features of plant species. |
II: | reproductive features of plant species. |
I: | appears before the specific epithet, i.e., at the end of the generic name. |
II: | is written in an abbreviated form. |
