I: | Species |
II: | Genus |
III: | Family |
I: | Order |
II: | Family |
III: | Division |
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. |
Both cats and dogs belong to same:
1. | species | 2. | genus |
3. | family | 4. | order |
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. |
The taxonomic unit ‘Phylum’ in the classification of animals is equivalent to which hierarchical level in classification of plants?
1. | Class | 2. | Order |
3. | Division | 4. | 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. |
Which taxonomic category is not correctly matched with name regarding the classification of the housefly?
1. | Phylum: Arthropoda | 2. | Class: Diptera |
3. | Family: Muscidae | 4. | Genus: Musca |
