Question 1
1 / -0

Viruses are classified in which of the following kingdom?

A
Plantae

B
Animalia

C
Monera

D
None of these
Solution
- Viruses didn't find a place in classification since they are not truly living.
- They are non cellular organisms that are characterised by having an inert crystalline structure outside the living cell.
- So, the correct option is 'None of the above'.
Question 2
1 / -0

.......... has smallest number of organisms with maximum number of similar character.

A
Species

B
Genus

C
Kingdom

D
Phylum
Question 3
1 / -0

In binomial nomenclature, the first name refers to

A
Order

B
Class

C
Genus

D
Species

Solution

In binomial nomenclature, the first name refers to the genus. The second part is a species name.
The first part of the binomial, the genus name, is always written with an initial capital letter. In current usage, the second part is never written with an initial capital.
Question 4
1 / -0

Taxonomy is related to

A
Collection of plants and animals

B
Classification of organisms

C
Identification, nomenclature and classification of organisms

D
None of these

Solution

Taxonomy, a branch of science that encompasses the description, identification, nomenclature, and classification of organisms. It is the science of naming, describing and classifying organisms and includes all plants, animals and microorganisms of the world.
Therefore, the correct answer is option C.
Question 5
1 / -0

The smallest unit of classification is known as ..........

A
Species

B
De condole

C
Linnaeus

D
Mayr

Solution

The smallest unit of classification is known as species, which is a group of closely related organisms who can interbreed and produce fertile offspring. The organisms in a species share a genetic heritage.

The correct answer is A.
Question 6
1 / -0

The correct sequence of taxonomic categories is _________________.

A
Division $$\displaystyle \rightarrow $$ Class $$\displaystyle \rightarrow $$ Famil $$\displaystyle \rightarrow $$ Order $$\displaystyle \rightarrow $$ Genus $$\displaystyle \rightarrow $$ Species

B
Phylum $$\displaystyle \rightarrow $$ Order $$\displaystyle \rightarrow $$ Class $$\displaystyle \rightarrow $$ Family $$\displaystyle \rightarrow $$ Genus $$\displaystyle \rightarrow $$ Species

C
Class $$\displaystyle \rightarrow $$ Division $$\displaystyle \rightarrow $$ Order $$\displaystyle \rightarrow $$ Family $$\displaystyle \rightarrow $$ Genus $$\displaystyle \rightarrow $$ Species

D
Division $$\displaystyle \rightarrow $$ Class $$\displaystyle \rightarrow $$ Order $$\displaystyle \rightarrow $$ Family $$\displaystyle \rightarrow $$ Genus $$\displaystyle \rightarrow $$ Species
Solution
- There are seven main taxonomic ranks: kingdom, phylum or division, class, order, family, genus, species.
- The hierarchy is Division $$\rightarrow$$ Class $$\rightarrow$$ Order $$\rightarrow$$ Family $$\rightarrow$$ Genus $$\rightarrow$$Species.
- So, the correct answer is option D.
Question 7
1 / -0

Father of taxonomy is

A
Bentham and hooker

B
Hutchinson

C
Linnaeus

D
Whittaker

Solution

Taxonomy is the part of science that focuses on naming and classifying or grouping organisms. A Swedish naturalist named Carolus Linnaeus is considered the 'Father of Taxonomy' because, he developed a way to name and organize species that we still use today, also known as the binomial system of nomenclature.
So, the correct answer is 'Linnaeus'.
Question 8
1 / -0

Systematics is

A
Identification

B
Nomenclature

C
Relationship and classification

D
All of the above
Solution
Correct Option: D
Explanation:
- Systematics could be a path to know the biological process interrelationships of living things, making interpretation and therefore the method during which life has diversified and adjusted over time.
- In different words, systematics may be termed as a technique that includes identification, nomenclature, relationship, and classification of living organisms.
Question 9
1 / -0

The science of diversity of organisms is______________.

A
Taxonomy

B
Systematics

C
Evolution

D
Paleontology

Solution

Systematics is concerned with the diversification of lineages through time. It differs from ecology as ecology is concerned with the interactions of individuals (and therefore species) in a particular time.
Paleontology is the study of the history of life on Earth as based on fossil.
Taxonomy is concerned with naming appropriate taxa.
Ecology is the branch of science that studies the interactions among organisms and their living environment.
Systematics includes the discovery of the basic units of biodiversity (species), reconstructing the patterns of relationships of species at successively higher levels, building classifications based on these patterns and the application of this pattern knowledge to studying changes in organism's features through time.
Hence answer is 'Systematic'
Question 10
1 / -0

Closely related morphologically similar sympatric populations but reproductively isolated are called as

A
Demes

B
Clones

C
Sibling species

D
Clines

Solution

Two or more species that are nearly identical in their appearance, yet reproductively isolated, are referred to as sibling or cryptic species. Sibling species are any of two or more related species that are morphologically nearly identical but are incapable of producing fertile hybrids.
Sibling species can only be identified by genetic, biochemical, behavioural, or ecological factors, and are thought to have become divergent very recently.
A deme is a term for a local population of organisms of one species, that actively interbreed with one another and share a distinct gene pool.
Clones are organisms that are exact genetic copies.
Cline is the gradual change in certain characteristics exhibited by members of a series of adjacent populations of organisms of the same species.
