Choose the correct answers from the alternatives given.
Which of the following kingdoms is correctly matched?

A
Animalia - Arthropods and humans

B
Plantae - Unicellular algae and mosses

C
Protista - Multicellular algae

D
Prokaryote - Fungi
Solution
- Kingdom Animalia includes the phylum Porifera, Coelenterata, Platyhelminthes, Nematoda, Annelida, Arthropoda, Mollusca, Echinodermata Protochordata, and Chordata. Humans belong to the class Mammalia of the sub-phylum Vertebrata.
- Plant kingdom includes multicellular algae, mosses, ferns, naked seed plants, and flowering plants. Flowers are the reproductive organs of flowering plants.
- Only unicellular algae belong to kingdom Protista.
- Fungi belong to kingdom fungi and are multicellular structures made of eukaryotic cells.
Thus the correct answer is option A.
Question 4
1 / -0

Choose the correct answers from the alternatives given.
Binomial system of nomenclature means that every organism has

A
two names, one scientific and one popular

B
one name given by two scientists

C
one scientific name consisting of a generic and a specific epithet

D
two names, one denoting the .latinised name of the, place and the other of the person, who determined it
Solution
- The local name of thousands and thousands of plants and animals varies from place to place.
- Hence, there is a need to standardize the naming of a living organism such that a particular organism is known by the same name all over the world.
- And so Binomial Nomenclature was given.
- The first name denotes the name of the genus and second denotes the Species name.
Hence, the correct answer is 'One scientific name consisting of a generic and a specific epithet.'.
Question 5
1 / -0

Choose the correct answers from the alternatives given.
Which one of the following is the basic unit of classification?

A
Species

B
Genus

C
Family

D
Phylum

Solution

Species is the basic unit of classification and the organisms that share many features in common can breed among each other and produce offsprings, are members of same species.
Hence, the correct answer is 'Species'.
Question 6
1 / -0

Choose the correct answers from the alternatives given.
Which of the following categories is at the top of the classification hierarchy?

A
Order

B
Class

C
Family

D
Phylum

Solution

The 8 levels of modern taxonomy classification system are Domain, Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species.
Hence, the correct answer is 'Phylum'.
Question 7
1 / -0

Choose the correct answers from the alternatives given.
Which of the following categories is at the top of the classification hierarchy?

A
Monera to Fungi to Protists to Plants to Animals

B
Monera to Protista, from Protista separately to Fungi, Plants, and Animals

C
Protists to Monera to Fungi, from Fungi separately to Plants and Animals

D
Monera to Protists, separately to Animals and Plants with Fungi; a loss of plant photosynthesis

Solution

The five kingdom classification system given by Robert Whittaker in 1968 is Prokaryotic Monera, Protista, Fungi, Plantae and Animalia.
Hence, the correct answer is, 'Monera to Protists, from Protists separately to Fungi, Plants and Animalia'.
Question 8
1 / -0

Choose the correct answers from the alternatives given.
Which of the following is the correct order of classification?

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

Kingdom - Domain - Class - Phylum - Order - Family - Genus - Species

C
Kingdom - Domain - Class - Phylum - Order - Genus - Species - Family

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

Solution

The 8 levels of modern taxonomy classification system are Domain, Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species.
Hence, the correct answer is, 'Domain-Kingdom-Phylum-Class-Order-Family-Genus-Species'.
Question 9

A
family rank

B
order rank

C
class rank

D
