Study of diversity of organisms and evolutionary relationship amongst them on the basis of all possible characters is called as
1 Taxonomy
2 Systematics
3 Alpha-taxonomy
4 Phylogeny
Which statements is incorrect with respect to genus?
1 Each genus may have one or more than one specific epithets
2 It comprises a group of related species
3 It has more characters in common in comparison to species of other genera
4 Potato and brinjal belong to different genus
What is incorrect for taxonomic hierarchy?
1 There are 7 obligate and more than 21 intermediate categories
2 Higher the category, fewer the number of organism
3 Lower the category, more the number of common features
4 Greatest similarity in structure is found in between members of a species
Genus represents aggregate of closely related species. Which of the following group of species does not belong to same genus?
1 Potato, Brinjal
2 Brinjal, makoi
3 Lion, Leopard
4 Potato, Sweet potato
First step of taxonomy is
1 Classification
2 Nomenclature
3 Identification
4 Characterisation
Animals, dogs and mammals represent
1. Taxa at different levels
2. Taxonomic hierarchy
3. Taxa at equivalent level
4. Categories at equivalent level
