Weekly Quiz Competition
  • Question 1
    1 / -0
    Two plants belong to same species if they 
    Solution
    Correct option -D
    Explanation for correct option-D

    • A species is a group of related organisms that can potentially interbreed with each other freely in natural conditions and produce viable offspring.
    • In the case of plants, those plants that can interbreed freely with each other and form viable seeds are said to be belonging to the same species.
  • Question 2
    1 / -0
    The number of species classified in 'Species Plantarum' is 
    Solution
    Species plantarum is a book by Carl Linnaeus, originally published in 1753, which lists every species of plant known at the time, classified into genera. It is the first work to consistently apply binomial names and was the starting point for the naming of plants. It includes names and description of 5900 species of plants, the binomial nomenclature was given by Linnaeus was first used in Species Plantarum.
    So, the correct answer is '5900'.
  • Question 3
    1 / -0
    Identify the correct sequence of taxonomic hierarchical arrangement in ascending order of the following.
    Solution
    The given sequence represents the classification of the Mango (Mangifera indica) plant. The Mangifera is the genus of the flowering plant which is commonly known for the fruit mango. The fruit is large and oval in shape. Anacardiaceae is commonly known as the cashew or sumac family. Sapindales is the order of the flowering plants. This is the group which is composed of large trees, shrubs and climbers. Magnoliopsida is the class of the dicot plants to which this plant belongs. The dicots are the plants which have two cotyledons in the embryo stage in the seeds. Spermatophyta are the plants which produce the seeds. 
    Thus, the correct answer is option C. 
  • Question 4
    1 / -0
    Which taxonomic aid gives comprehensive account of complete compiled information of a genus or family at a particular time?
    Solution
    • With the help of a key, we can identify an organism based on its characteristics. Keys are constructed so that the person is presented with a series of choices about the characteristics of the unknown organisms; by making the correct choice at each step of the key, the user is ultimately led to the identity of a specimen.
    • A herbarium is a place where dried and pressed specimens are Preserved.
    • The monograph provides the complete comprehensive account of a genus or a family at a particular time. It is a detailed written study of a single Genus or Family.
    • Flora is the living population of plants in a particular area at a particular time period.
    So, the correct option is 'Monograph'.
  • Question 5
    1 / -0
    Which of the following biologists is responsible for the binomial system for naming organisms that we use today?
    Solution
    Carolus Linnaeus proposed the binomial nomenclature. The purpose of binomial nomenclature was to provide universal identification to the living organism. The system of nomenclature in which two terms are used to denote a species of living organism, the first one indicating the genus and the second the specific epithet is known as binomial nomenclature.
    R.H Whittaker gave five kingdom classification which classified the living organism into Monera, Protista, Fungi, Plantae and Animalia.
    Theophrastus is known as the father of botany.
    Aristotle is known as the father of zoology.
    So, the correct answer is option A.
  • Question 6
    1 / -0
    Which of the following is correctly matched with no exception in regard to plant classification?
    Solution
    • Family names of plants end with suffix 'ae' as depicted in 'Poaceae'.
    • Suffix for division is 'phyta', e.g. 'Pteridophyta'.
    • Class names for algae end with 'phyceae' while for other plants it ends with suffix 'sida'.
    • The suffix used for the genus is 'um'.
    • So, the correct answer is 'Class - Bryopsida - phyta'.
  • Question 7
    1 / -0
    Zoological name of north Indian hare is
    Solution
    • Lepus nigricollis is zoological name of north Indian hare.
    • Sorex araneus is scientifc name of Common shrew.
    • Lepus ruficaudatus is not a correct name for any organism. Rather Lepus nigricoliis ruficaudatus is a sub species of Indian hare.
    Orynctalogus cuniculus is scientific name of European rabbit. So, the correct option is 'Lepus nigricollis'.
  • Question 8
    1 / -0
    Choose the wrong statement about subspecies.
    Solution
    A species is commonly defined as the largest group within which interbreeding produces viable offspring. 
    A sub-species is a subgroup below the level of a species. Member of a  subspecies can interbreed successfully with other subspecies, but does not do so in practice ( for e.g. due to geographical isolation).
    So, the correct option is 'They do not interbreed with an individual of other subspecies'.
  • Question 9
    1 / -0
    Study the four statements, a-d, given below and select the two correct ones out of them.
    (a) Definition of biological species was given by Ernst Mayr.
    (b) Photoperiod does not affect reproduction in plants.
    (c) Binomial nomenclature system was given by R.H. Whittaker.
    (d) In unicellular organisms reproduction is synonymous with growth.
    Solution
    • Photoperiod affects the reproduction in plants by regulating the flowering timing of the plants.
    • The binomial system of nomenclature was given by Carolus Linnaeus. R. H. Whittaker proposed 5 kingdom classification of living organisms.
    So, the correct option is 'a and d'.
  • Question 10
    1 / -0
    Match the followings :
      LIST I LIST II 
     A Wheat 1 Primata
     B Mango 2 Diptera
     C House fly 3 Sapindales
     D Man 4 Poales
    Solution
    • Wheat belongs to order 'Poales'and mango belongs to order 'Sapindales'.
    • House fly belongs to order 'Diptera' and  man belongs to order 'Primata'.
    So, the correct option is 'A - 4, B - 3, C - 2, D - 1'.
