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 |
Statement I: | Classification of living organisms is important to make study of living organisms possible. |
Statement II: | Classification is the process by which anything is grouped into convenient categories based on some easily observable characters. |
(a) | characterization and identification of living organisms |
(b) | classification and nomenclature of living organisms |
(c) | establishing evolutionary relationships between living organisms |
1. | Only (a) and (b) | 2. | Only (a) and (c) |
3. | Only (b) and (c) | 4. | (a), (b) and (c) |
Statement I: | The scientific term for convenient categories we use to study organisms is taxa. |
Statement II: | An organism can belong to only one taxon. |
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 |
1. | Cladistics | 2. | Systematics |
3. | Taxonomy | 4. | Identification |
I. | is merely a morphological aggregate |
II. | is a distinct biological entity |
III. | represents a rank |
1. | Species → Genus → Family → Order → Class → Division → Kingdom |
2. | Species → Genus → Family → Class → Order → Division → Kingdom |
3. | Species → Genus → Order → Family → Class → Division → Kingdom |
4. | Genus → Species → Family → Order → Class → Kingdom → Division |
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. |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) does not correctly explain (A) |
2. | (A) is True but (R) is False |
3. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) correctly explains (A) |
4. | (A) is False but (R) is True |
