Question 1
1 / -0

Cicer arietinum is

A
Bengal Gram

B
Black Gram

C
Green Gram

D
Dew Gram

Solution

Cicer arietinum, commonly known as bengal gram or chick pea or gram is an annual legume belonging to the family Fabaceae. They are rich in protein. It is one of the earliest cultivated legumes. It is also used in salads, stews and soups. It is also used as animal feed as it is a rich source of protein. So, the correct answer is 'Bengal gram'.
Question 2
1 / -0

Identify the correct sequence of taxonomical category

A
Species $$\to$$ order $$\to$$ phylum $$\to$$ kingdom

B
Genus $$\to$$ species $$\to$$ order $$\to$$ kingdom

C
Genus $$\to$$ species $$\to$$ phylum $$\to$$ order

D
Genus $$\rightarrow$$ species $$\rightarrow$$ kingdom $$\rightarrow$$ phylum

Solution

A taxonomic category is a rank or level in the hierarchical classification of organisms. There are seven obligate categories and some intermediate categories. The seven obligate categories include- kingdom, division or phylum, class, order, family, genus and species. The classification of organisms in a definite sequence of hierarchy category is called hierarchy of categories. The correct sequence of taxonomical category is as follows:
Species $$\to$$ Genus $$\to$$ Family $$\to$$ Order $$\to$$ Class $$\to$$ Phylum $$\to$$ Kingdom
So, correct option is (A).
Question 3
1 / -0

The framework system of classification in which various taxonomic categories are arranged in order of logical sequence is called

A
Systematics

B
Classification

C
Hierarchy

D
Taxon

Solution

The framework system of classification in which various taxonomic categories are arranged in order of logical sequence is called hierarchy. It was introduced by Linnaeus. The domain is the highest rank in the hierarchy followed by division or kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species. Species is the lowest rank in the hierarchy.
Thus, the correct answer is option C.
Question 4
1 / -0

Scientific study of diversity of organisms and their evolutionary relationships is called

A
Morphology

B
Anatomy

C
Taxonomy

D
Systematic

Solution

Scientific study of diversity of organisms and their evolutionary relationships is called systematic. Science of naming, describing and classifying organisms is called as taxonomy. Anatomy is the branch of science dealing with the study of structure of organisms. Morphology is the branch of science dealing with the form and structure of organisms.
Thus, the correct answer is option D.
Question 5
1 / -0

Which of the following is not in a correct hierarchial order?

A
Class, family, genus

B
Phylum, order, family

C
Class, order, family

D
Family, order, class

Solution

The framework system of classification in which various taxonomic categories are arranged in order of logical sequence is called hierarchy. It was introduced by Linnaeus. The domain is the highest rank in the hierarchy followed by division or kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species. Species is the lowest rank in the hierarchy.
Thus, the correct answer is option D.
Question 6
1 / -0

Choose the correct sequence of taxonomic categories.

A
Class - Phylum - Order - Family - Genus - Species

B
Division - Class - Order - Family - Genus - Species

C
Division - Class - Family - Order - Genus - Species

D
Phylum - Order - Class - Family - Genus - Species

Solution

The taxonomic hierarchy was introduced by Linnaeus. It is also known as a Linnaean hierarchy. It is used to classify organisms into different categories. It includes the sequence of categories in a decreasing or increasing order from kingdom to species and vice versa. The domain is the highest rank in the hierarchy followed by division or kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species. Species is the lowest rank in the hierarchy.
Thus, the correct answer is option B.
Question 7
1 / -0

Which one shows the correct hierarchical arrangement

A
Kingdom $$\leftarrow$$ Division $$\leftarrow$$ Class $$\leftarrow$$ Order Family $$\leftarrow$$ Species $$\leftarrow$$ Genus

B
Kingdom $$\leftarrow$$ Division $$\leftarrow$$ Order $$\leftarrow$$ Class $$\leftarrow$$ Family $$\leftarrow$$ Genus $$\leftarrow$$ Species

C
Kingdom $$\to$$ Division $$\to$$ Order $$\to$$ Class $$\to$$ Family $$\to$$ Genus $$\to$$ Species

D
Kingdom $$\to$$ Division $$\to$$ Class $$\to$$ Order $$\to$$ Family $$\to$$ Genus $$\to$$ Species

E
Kingdom $$\to$$ Division $$\to$$ Family $$\to$$ Order $$\to$$ Class $$\to$$ Genus $$\to$$ Species

Solution

The taxonomic hierarchy was introduced by Linnaeus. It is also known as a Linnaean hierarchy. It is used to classify organisms into different categories. It includes the sequence of categories in a decreasing or increasing order from kingdom to species and vice versa. The domain is the highest rank in the hierarchy followed by kingdom, division or phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species. Species is the lowest rank in the hierarchy.
Thus, the correct answer is option D.
Question 8
1 / -0

In the nature, the biologically cohesive unit amongst the taxa is

A
Genus

B
Order

C
Phylum

D
Species

Solution

Amongst all the kingdoms in the nature, the only taxon that exist as biologically cohesive unit is species. Species is the basic unit of taxonomic classification. It contains organisms with least general character. These are interbreeding organisms but are genetically distinct.
Thus, the correct answer is option D.
Question 9
1 / -0

Inter-breeding animals belong to the same

A
Genus

B
Family

C
Species

D
Order

Solution

Species is the basic unit of classification. It contains the least general characters. Organisms classified under same species can interbreed and can produce fertile organism. Related species comes under category known as genus.
Thus, the correct answer is option C.
Question 10
1 / -0

Which is less general in characters as compared to genus

A
Family

B
Class

C
Division

D
Species
Solution
Correct option: D
Explanation:
In a taxonomical hierarchy, the kingdom comes first while species comes at last.
Thus, while comparing organisms, a kingdom has more general characters as compared to species.
And genus lies just above species so it has more general characters in comparison with species.
Hence, "Species" is less general in characters as compared to genus.
