Phylogenetic system of classification was proposed by:

  1. Linnaeus

  2. Hutchinson

  3. Bentham

  4. Theophrastus


Correct Option: A

Classification system given by Linnaeus was based on 

  1. Androecium structure

  2. Flower arrangements

  3. Leaf morphology

  4. Plant habit


Correct Option: A
Explanation:
  • Carolus Linnaeus is considered as the 'Father of Taxonomy'. He developed a way to name and organize species. 
  • Linnaeus’s artificial system of classification was based on the androecium structure. The significance of flower and fruit structures was first recognized by him. He emphasized the basic numerical characteristics of sexual parts i.e., stamens and carpels. Thus the Linnaeus system is also known as a sexual system.

So the answer is 'Androecium structure'. 

Oswald Tippo placed slime molds in

  1. Cyanophyta

  2. Chlorophyta

  3. Phaeophyta

  4. Myxomycophyta


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Oswald Tippo, University of Illiniois 1942, classified plant kingdom into two sub-kingdoms: Thallophyta (thalloid plant body without distinct alternation of generations) and Embryophyta (organ level differentiation of plant body with regular alternation of sporophyte and gametophyte generations). The sub-kingdom thallophyta was divided into 10 phyla: Cyanophyta (Blue green algae), Euglenophyta (Grass green algae), Chrysophyta (Yellow green algae), Chlorophyta (Green algae), Pyrrophyta (Golden brown algae), Phaeophyta (Brown algae), Rhodophyta (Red algae), Schizomycophyta (Bacteria), Myxomycophyta (Slime molds) and Eumycophyta (True fungi). Thus, the correct answer is option D. 

'Elements de Botanique' was written by

  1. Vaillant

  2. Tournefort

  3. Micheli

  4. De Bary


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

'Elements de Botanique' was written by Tournefort. The book aimed to define the concept of the genus for plants. It made a clear distinction between genus and species. it also helped in binomial nomenclature, where the genus name forms the first part of the binomial species name for each species within the genus.

So, the correct answer is option B.

  • turtles and tortoises generally have the longest lifespans of any animal and some individuals are known to have lived longer than 150 years and swans can live for over 100 years.
  • Therefore, the correct answer is option A.

The scientific name of a species 'X' was given by scientist in 1960 as 'P' and another scientist gave another name to the species in 1990 as 'Q'. Which is considered as valid name?

  1. P.

  2. Q.

  3. Both P and Q.

  4. None of them.


Correct Option: A

Practical purpose of taxonomy or classification is to

  1. Facilitate the identification of unknown species.

  2. Explain the origin of organisms.

  3. To know the evolutionary process.

  4. Identification of medicinal plants.


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Taxonomy is the science of classification of organisms and includes identification and nomenclature based on the description of characteristics. Taxonomy, therefore, helps to identify the unknown species. Thus, the correct answer is option A.

Linnaeus proposed an outline of plant classification in

  1. Genera Plantarum

  2. Species Plantarurn

  3. Systema Naturae

  4. Philosophia Botanica


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Linnaeus is described as the father of taxonomy due to his immense contribution in the field of nomenclature and taxonomy. He identified and classified 24 classes of flowering plants based on the number of stamens. He divided these classes into orders on the basis of carpel characteristics. This sexual, as well as artificial classification system, was first described in his book called as Systema Naturae. 

Thus, the correct answer is option C. 

Carolus Linnaeus classified plant kingdom on the basis of

  1. Floral morphology

  2. Overall morphology of plants

  3. Type of sexual reproduction

  4. Anatomical character


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Linnaeus is considered as 'father of taxonomy'. He identified 24 classes of flowering plants based on the number of stamens and their adnate or connate state. He divided these classes into orders on the basis of carpel characteristics. Thus, option A is the correct answer.

System of classification proposed by Linnaeus was

  1. Artificial

  2. Natural

  3. Sexual

  4. Both A and C


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Linnaeus is considered as the father of taxonomy. He classified the flowering plants based on the floral characters. The classification was based on the number of stamens and the basis of carpel characteristics. Since, his classification employed sexual characters, it is termed as sexual classification. The artificial system of classification is based on the observable characters such as habit, number, forms, the number of stamen which makes the classification system proposed by Linnaeus as an artificial system.

Thus, the correct answer is option D.

First plant classification was given by

  1. Linnaeus

  2. John Ray

  3. Theophrastus

  4. Darwin


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Theophrastus is considered father of botany. He was the Greek philosopher and the first to attempt to classify plants on the basis of their morphological features. On the basis of their height, girth and branches, the plants were classified as tree, shrubs, sub-shrubs and herbs.

Thus, the correct answer is option C.

Which of the following book was written by Theophrastus?

  1. 'Enquiry into Plants'

  2. 'On the Causes of Plants'

  3. 'Historia Plantarum'

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Theophrastus is considered father of botany. He was the Greek philosopher and the first to attempt to classify plants of the basis of their morphological features. On the basis of their height, girth and branches, the plants were classified as tree, shrubs, sub-shrubs and herbs. He considered the trees as most advanced plant and classified around 500 plant species of plants which are mentioned in his book Historia Plantarum. Enquiry into Plants and On the Causes of Plants were also penned by him. 

Thus, the correct answer is option D. 

Typological concept of species was given by

  1. Mendel

  2. Aristole and Plato

  3. John Ray

  4. Hutchinson


Correct Option: B
Explanation:
The typological concept of species was proposed by Aristotle and Plato. According to this concept 'There is a definite type or pattern of characters in each species of every living organisms and all the members of species show maximum resemblance with this pattern. The species in which a fixed pattern of characters is present are called as monotypic species.
So, the correct option is 'Aristotle and Plato'.

Scala Naturae was written by

  1. Hippocrates

  2. Thales

  3. Aristotle

  4. Theophrastus


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Scala Naturae (Natural Ladder) was written by Aristotle to organize all things in the natural world, living and non-living. Aristotle's Scala Naturae showed a continuum from 'lower' forms of matter to 'higher' forms of matter. 

So, the correct option is 'Aristotle'.

The scientist who first gave the dynamic concept of species 

  1. Julian Huxley

  2. Linnaeus

  3. Lamarck

  4. John Ray


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The dynamic concept of species was given by Lamarck. According to this concept 'Species is always changeable'. Changes always occur in the characters of species from one generation to the next generation. And these changes are known as evolution.

So, the correct option is 'Lamarck'.

Great chain of being is

  1. Biblian concept of origin of life.

  2. Hierarchical arrangement of organisms by Aristotle.

  3. Hierarchical arrangement of animals by Theophrastus.

  4. Origin of Life by Thales.


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

  • Aristotle developed the idea of Scala Naturae (Natural Ladder) which came to be known as the Great chain of being to organize all things in the natural world, living and non-living. It showed a continuum from 'lower' forms of matter to 'higher' forms of matter. 
  • The Scala Naturae ranged from inanimate matter (minerals) as the 'lowest', then up to plants, then to animals. The 'highest' things on the ladder are humans.
So, the correct option is 'Hierarchical arrangement of organisms by Aristotle'.

Aristotle wrote

  1. Historia Animalium.

  2. De Partibus Animalium.

  3. De Generatione Animalium.

  4. All the above.


Correct Option: D

Number of plants described by Linnaeus is

  1. 15000

  2. 13291

  3. 5900

  4. 2781


Correct Option: C
Explanation:
Carl Linnaeus, a Swedish botanist, and zoologist laid the foundations for the modern biological naming scheme of binomial nomenclature. He is known as the father of modern taxonomy and is also considered one of the fathers of modern ecology.
The establishment of universally accepted conventions for the naming of organisms was Linnaeus' main contribution to taxonomy—the starting point of consistent use of binomial nomenclature in his books like Systema Natura, Species Plantarum, Genera Plantarum in which he described 5900 plants in total.
So, the correct option is '5900'.

Consider the following statements with reference to criterion/criteria used in the classification of plants in the engler and Prantl's system.
a. The families were arranged according to the increasing complexity of flower and fruit.
b. In flowering plants absence of perianth was considered as a primitive character
c. Monocots were considered to be more primitive than dicots
d. Unisexual flowers were derived from bisexual flowers.
Which of the statements given are correct?

  1. $1$ and $2$

  2. $1$ and $4$

  3. $1, 2$ and $3$

  4. $2, 3$ and $4$


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

  1. In the rules of nomenclature, families are arranged according to the arrangement of the complexity of flower (position of the gynoecium, the arrangement of anthers etc) and fruit (originated from ovary, or from thalamus ).
  2. Perianth means the fusion of calyx and corolla (lily) but similar structure also found in mosses and liverworts (bryophytes) and as these are the primitive plant it is supposed that perianth is a primitive character.
  3. Monocots were considered more advanced than dicots in the way of photosynthesis they have more advance system and are called C$ _4$ plants and their vascular bundles, the arrangement of leaves etc are much different and evolved the dicots.
  4. Plants adopted unisexuality and evolved from bisexuality to prevent genetic depression it is one of the most common methods of prevention of Autogamy and geitonogamy.
So the correct option is "1 and 2".

System of classification proposed by two botanists and claimed to be natural system is by

  1. Bentham and Hooker

  2. Aristotle and Theophrastus

  3. Darwin and Wallace

  4. Engler and Prantl


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

  • Natural classification is based on the complete morphological characters of stem, root, leaves, flowers etc. Bentham and Hooker's classification is based on these characters hence it is an example of to be the natural system.

  1. Genera Plantarum

  2. Species Plantarum

  3. Historia Plantarum

  4. Historia Naturae


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Bentham and Hooker proposed their system of classification in the book Genera Plantarum. In this book, they gave the biggest and natural classification of seed plants. Their system of classification was based on the principle of natural affinities and is considered as pre-Darwinian as it does not take evolution into account.

So, the correct option is 'Genera Plantarum'.

Which is not correct?

  1. Embryology - Aristotle

  2. Taxonomy - Carlous Linnaeus

  3. Paleontology - Leonardo de Vinci

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Taxonomy is the science of the naming and classifying or grouping of organisms. In 1700, Swedish naturalist Carolus Linnaeus developed a hierarchical classification system for organisms called binomial nomenclature. Palaeontology is the science of the forms of life existing in the former geological period, as represented by their fossils. 

Leonardo Da Vinci, the great artist who is famous for his work in painting, sculpting, architecture, science, music etc is known as the father of paleontology.
Aristotle was the great philosopher. He contributed to embryology to some extent by describing the development of the chicken embryo and navel string linking of embryo to the placenta in a species of dogfish. He is called the father of embryology.

Therefore all the answers are correct.

A school of systematics, that determines the degree of relatedness by analysing primitive and derived characters and constructing cladograms is

  1. Phylogeny

  2. Cladistics

  3. Cladogram

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

  • Cladistics is one of the three schools of systematics that determines the degree of relatedness by analysing the primitive and derived characters and constructs the cladogram.
  • Cladistics is an approach to biological classification in which organisms are categorized in groups based on the most recent common ancestor. A key feature of a clade is that a common ancestor and all its descendants are part of the clade.
  • In Cladistics  to show relations among organisms, cladogram is used. Cladistics is now the most commonly used methods to classify organisms.
So the correct option is Cladistics.

A 'type' is one particular specimen (or a group of specimens) of an organism to which the scientific name of that organism is formally attached. Match column I (type) with column II(description) and select the correct option from the codes given.

Column I Column II
A. Holotype  (i) A specimen cited with an original description other than the holotype or isotype
B. Isotype (ii) A duplicate of the holotype
C. Paratype (iii) A specimen designated in the original description
D. Lectotype (iv) A specimen selected from original material to serve as nomenclatural type when the holotype was not designated.
  1. A-(iii), B-(ii), C-(i), D-(iv)

  2. A-(iii), B-(i), C-(ii), D-(iv)

  3. A-(iii), B-(ii), C-(iv), D-(i)

  4. A-(iii), B-(iv), C-(i), D-(ii)


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Holotype is a valuable original specimen that describes a new species. It is a term used to describe a specimen that is the first known of its kind anywhere in the world. A holotype can be any type of fossil, and it serves as the name-bearer of the species.
Isotype is an individual specimen that is similar enough genetically to the holotype to be considered to part of the same taxonomic group.
Paratype is a specimen cited in the protologue that is neither the holotype, isotype, nor one of the syntypes. These are often listed as representative specimens in the original description.
Lectotype is a specimen chosen by a later researcher to serve as if it were the holotype. It is chosen from among the specimens available to the original publishing author (the isotypes, syntypes and/or paratypes) of a scientific name when the holotype was either lost or destroyed or when no holotype was designated.
So the correct option is A.

......gives specific and scientific names to the organisms.

  1. Taxonomy

  2. Classification

  3. Systematics

  4. Genetics


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Taxonomy refers to a branch of science that deals primarily with the description, identification, nomenclature, and classification of organisms. For example, organisms are classified into clades in phylogenetic taxonomy.

Which class has been placed in between dicotyledons and monocotyledons by Bentham and Hooker?

  1. Leptosprongiatae

  2. Eusporangiatae

  3. Gymnospermae

  4. Hepaticopsida


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Bentham and Hooker divided Spermatophyta or seed-bearing plants into three classes namely- 

  • Dicotyledonae ( class I )
  • Gymnospermae ( class II )
  • Monocotyledonae ( class III ). 

It was a example of natural system of classification, In which the organisms are classified on the basis of their natural affinities (i.e. the basic similarities in the morphology).

So, the correct option is 'Gymnospermae'.

Which of the following is not a criterion for classification of living organisms?

  1. Body design of the organism

  2. Ability to produce ones own food

  3. Membrane bound nucleus and cell organelles

  4. Height


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The criterions for classification of organisms are as follows-
1. Nature of cell (porkaryotic or eukaryotic)
2. Number of cells (unicellular or multicellular)
3. Mode of nutrition (autotrophic or heterotrophic)
4. Body design (presence or absence of cell wall)
5. Presence or absence of well defined nucleus with nuclear membrane
6. Body differentiation
7. Presence of conducting tissues (in case of plants)
8. Mode of reproduction
9. Type of seed (in case of plants)
10. Number of cotyledons (in case of plants)
Hence, options A, B, C are incorrect. 
Height is not considered as criterion for classification of living organisms. 
Therefore, option D is correct.  

Merit of Bentham and Hooker's system is

  1. Placement of renales in beginning

  2. Placement of orchidaceae in microspermae

  3. Placement of asteraceae in beginning of gamopetalae

  4. Position of gymnospermae in between dicots and monocots


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

  • Renales are the most primitive living angiosperms hence placing them, in the beginning, is the merit of Bentham and Hooker's system.

  • Placement of Orchidaceae in microspermae is demerit as it is an advanced family. 
  • The placement of Gymnospermae in between dicots monocots is a demerit as gymnosperms are primitive compared to both monocots and dicots.
So, the correct option is 'Placement of renals in beginning'.

Number of series distinguished by Bentham and Hooker is subclass monochlamydeae is

  1. $3$

  2. $5$

  3. $7$

  4. $8$


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The group monochlamydaea was one of three within the Dicotyledons, the others being Polypetalae and Gamopetalae. It included plants with flowers that had either a calyx or corolla, but not both. Though, it was later abandoned.

The number of series distinguished by Bentham and Hooker in subclass monochlamydeous were eight.
So, the correct option is '8'.

A taxonomic species distinguished on the basis of morphological characters is

  1. Morphospecies

  2. Biospecies

  3. Linneon

  4. Neontological species


Correct Option: C
Explanation:
  1. Morphospecies are groups of individuals that are morphologically similar and clearly distinguishable from individuals of other groups.
    2. A group of interbreeding individuals that are isolated reproductively from all other groups is called Biospecies.
    3. Linneon are the taxonomic species distinguished on the basis of morphological characters.
    4. Those species which are present in the living world are known as neontological species.
    So, the correct option is 'Linneon'.
