Assertion (A): | Equal weightage to vegetative and sexual characteristics in the artificial systems is not acceptable. |
Reason (R): | The sexual characters are more easily affected by environment. |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) explains (A) |
2. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) does not explain (A) |
3. | (A) is True but (R) is False |
4. | (A) is False but (R) is True |
Assertion(A): | Artificial systems of classification of organisms are simple and acceptable to most scientists. |
Reason (R): | Artificial classification systems take into account the evolutionary relationships between living organisms. |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) correctly explains (A). |
2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) does not correctly explain (A). |
3. | (A) is True; (R) is False |
4. | Both (A) and (R) are False |
1. | Artificial systems utilize genetic similarities, whereas natural systems use morphological characteristics. |
2. | Artificial systems classify organisms based on a few characteristics, while natural systems consider a large number of characteristics. |
3. | Artificial systems classify organisms based on evolutionary relationships, while natural systems focus on ecological roles. |
4. | Artificial systems are based on observable characteristics, while natural systems are more theoretical. |
Statement I: | Classification for flowering plants given by George Bentham and Joseph Dalton Hooker is a natural system of classification. |
Statement II: | Classification for flowering plants given by Linnaeus is an artificial system of classification. |
1. | Phylogenetic classification systems | Based on evolutionary relationships |
2. | Numerical Taxonomy | Based on all observable characteristics |
3. | Cytotaxonomy | Based on a few vegetative characters only. |
4. | Chemotaxonomy | Uses the chemical constituents of the plant |
