A
Species

B
Genus

C
Phylum or division

D
Kingdom

Solution

Among all the taxa, species is the only taxon that exists in the nature as a biologically cohesive unit. It is bonded by the interbreeding and it can be differentiated from the other species via reproductive isolation.
So the correct option is A.
Question 2
1 / -0

Initiation of binomial system for animals is believed to be started on?

A
$$1$$ May $$1753$$

B
$$1$$ August $$1758$$

C
$$1$$ August $$1753$$

D
$$1$$ May $$1758$$

Solution

A. 1 May 1753
Solution : The system of binomial nomenclature was first introduced by Carl Linnaeus through his book the "Species Plantarum". This book was first published on 1 May, 1753 by Laurentius Salvius in Stockholm, in two volumes.
So the correct answer is "1 May 1753"
Question 3
1 / -0

Consider the following statements regarding scientific name:
(i) The idea of binomial nomenclature was first introduced by Gaspard Bauhin.
(ii) Scientific names are always in Greek.
(iii) The first name in scientific name is generic name.
(iv) Generic and specific name starts with small letters.
Segregate the above statements as true (T) or false (F) by selecting the correct option:

A
FFTF

B
TTTT

C
FFFT

D
FTFT

Solution

A. FFTF
Solution : Idea of binomial nomenclature was given C. Linnaeus and the scientific nomenclature is always done in Latin. The first name is generic followed by species name and the generic name starts with capital and specific name starts with small letters.
So the correct answer is "FFTF".
Question 4
1 / -0

Observe the following terms:
(i) Muscidae.
(ii) Hominidae.
(iii) Sapindales.
(iv) Diptera.
(v) Insecta.

A
(i) and (ii) are families, (iii), (iv) and (v) are orders.

B
(iii) and (iv) are orders, (i) and (ii) are families; (v) is a class.

C
(iii) and (iv) are classes, (i) and (ii) are orders; (v) is a family.

D
(i) and (ii) are families, (iii) is a class, (iv) and (v) are orders.

Solution

i) Muscidae are a family of flies found in the superfamily muscoidea.
Muscidae some of which are commonly known as house flies due to their synanthropy, are worldwide in distribution and contain almost $$4000$$ described species in over $$100$$ genera most species are not synatropia.

ii) Hominidae is a taxonomic family of primates that include eight extant species in four genera Pongo, the Bornean, Sumatran and Tapanuli orangutan.

iii) Sapindales is an order of flowering plants. well-known members of sapindales incluse citrus, maples, horse-chestnuts etc.

iv) Diptera order includes true flies insects, the name being derived from the greek di-two and pteron-wings.

v) Insecta is a class of insects within the Arthropoda these are hexapod invertebrates and the largest group within arthropod phylum.
Question 5
1 / -0

Which statement is wrong:

A
Both Ascospores and Basidiospores are sexual spores formed endogenously.

B
Phenetic classification is based on observable characters of an organism.

C
Monograph contains information on any one taxon.

D
Herbarium is the storehouse of collected plant specimens that are dried, pressed and preserved on sheets.
Question 6
1 / -0

Manuals contain information for:

A
Habitat and distribution of animals in a given area.

B
Habitat and distribution of plants found on earth.

C
Identification of names of species found in an area.

D
Habitat and distribution of some useful animals of a given area.

Solution

Identification of names of species found in an area
Manuals are useful in providing information for identification of names of species found in an area while Manographs contain information on any one taxon.
Question 7
1 / -0

In a scientific name, the name of the author is printed in:

A
Capital letters

B
Bold (antics)

C
Italics

D
Roman

Solution

In the scientific name genus and species name written in italics and name of auther is printed in Roman.
Example, Mangifera indica linn. here Mangifera is genus, Indica is species and Linneous is auther name.
Question 8
1 / -0

Which of the following statements is/are incorrect?

A
The system of binomial nomenclature was developed by Darwin.

B
The species name is written first. It is followed by a genus name.

C
The scientific name is underlined when printed.

D
All of the above

Solution

The system of binomial nomenclature was developed by Linnaeus. There were certain rules which were made for writing the scientific names. They are as follows:
1. Each organism is given only one name consisting of two words - generic and specific.
2. The scientific name is printed in italics. It is underlined in a hand-written description.
3. The generic name is written first. It is followed by a specific name and the name of the discoverer in full or abbreviation.
4. The name of the author is written in Roman script.
5. The original names were taken from Latin and Greek languages. New names are derived from the Latin language as Latin is a dead language and therefore it will not change in form or spelling with time.
Thus, the correct answer is option D.
Question 9
1 / -0

For the identification of the name of species found in an area, one would use:

A
Manuals

B
Catalogues

C
Monographs

D
Museum
Solution
Monographs contains detailed information of a single taxon (species) with their geographical distribution, morphology, anatomical features etc.
So, the correct answer is 'Monograph'.
Question 10
1 / -0

The correct sequence of taxonomic hierarchy is

A
$$Genus\rightarrow Family\rightarrow Class\rightarrow Order\rightarrow Phylum\rightarrow Kingdom\rightarrow Species$$

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

C
$$Species\rightarrow Family\rightarrow Genus\rightarrow Kingdom\rightarrow Order\rightarrow Class\rightarrow Phylum$$

D
$$Species\rightarrow Genus\rightarrow Family\rightarrow Class\rightarrow Order\rightarrow Phylum\rightarrow Kingdom$$

Solution

Taxonomy is identification, nomenclature and classifying organisms into various characteristics based on their similar or dissimilar characteristics
So, the correct answer is

Species→Genus→Family→Order→Class→Phylum→Kingdom
