Statement I: | Genera are aggregates of closely related species. |
Statement II: | Family has a group of related genera with still less number of similarities as compared to genus and species. |
1. | Statement I is correct, Statement II is correct |
2. | Statement I is correct, Statement II is incorrect |
3. | Statement I is incorrect, Statement II is correct |

Statement I: | Family is a higher category than Genus. |
Statement II: | Species within the same genus have a few characteristics in common but differ significantly in their genetic makeup. |
Statement III: | Organisms belonging to the same family would be more similar to each other than those in the same order. |
1. | The genus comprises one or more species that are closely related. |
2. | Family groups together several genera that share fewer similarities as compared to species within a genus. |
3. | Species is the most basic unit in the biological classification system. |
4. | All members of a class in the taxonomic hierarchy must belong to the same family. |
Assertion (A): | The problem of classification becomes tougher as one ascends in the taxonomic hierarchy. |
Reason (R): | Higher taxonomic categories are more complex, incorporating diverse members with fewer common characteristics. |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A) |
2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |
3. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
4. | (A) is False but (R) is True. |
I: | Nomenclature is critical as it allows a particular organism to be known by the same name all over the world. |
II: | Identification is critical as nomenclature or naming is only possible when the organism is described correctly and we know to what organism the name is attached to. |
