Taxonomy does not include:
1. | Describing a new species |
2. | Naming a new species |
3. | Classifying organisms |
4. | Discovering a new species |
The currently accepted definition of biological species was pioneered by:
1. John Ray
2. G. G. Simpson
3. Ernst Mayr
4. Ernst Haeckel
Identify the correct chronological order of the taxonomic hierarchy from lowest to highest:
1. Family – Order – Class – Phylum
2. Family – Class – Order – Phylum
3. Order – Family – Class – Phylum
4. Order – Class – Phylum – Family
Humans belong to the Order:
1. | Hominidae | 2. | Primata |

The taxon ‘Division’ in plant taxonomy is used as a substitute for which of the following taxonomic categories in animal taxonomy?
1. | Phylum | 2. | Class |
3. | Order | 4. | Family |
The scientific term for biological classification categories is:
1. | Species | 2. | Taxon |
3. | Phylum | 4. | Domain |
I: | each organism has only one name. |
II: | such a name has not been used for any other known organism. |
Assertion (A): | Before assigning a biological name to a living organism, it is essential to identify the organism correctly. |
Reason (R): | Nomenclature or naming is only possible when the organism is described correctly and we know to what organism the name is attached to. |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) does not correctly explain (A). |
2. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
3. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) correctly explains (A). |
4. | (A) is False but (R) is True. |
