| I: | Both words in a biological name, when handwritten, are separately underlined. |
| II: | Systematics takes into account evolutionary relationship between organisms. |
| III: | In case of animals, classes with a few similar characters are assigned to a higher category called Division. |
| IV: | Higher the taxonomic category, higher is the ease of determining the relationship to other taxa at the same level. |
| Statement I: | Taxonomists have been able to identify a vast majority of species present on Earth. |
| Statement II: | The number of species that are known and described range between 1.7-1.8 million. |
| Assertion (A): | Characterisation, identification, classification and nomenclature are the processes that are basic to taxonomy. |
| Reason (R): | The structural, developmental and ecological information of an organism is important for taxonomic studies. |
| 1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
| 2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |
| 3. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
| 4. | (A) is False but (R) is True. |
| Assertion (A): | Higher the taxonomic category, greater is the difficulty of determining the relationship to other taxa at the same level. |
| Reason (R): | Lower the taxa, more are the characteristics that the members within the taxon share. |
| 1. | (A) is True and (R) is False. |
| 2. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is a correct explanation of (A). |
| 3. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not a correct explanation of (A). |
| 4. | (A) is False and (R) is True. |
| Statement I: | Systematics takes into account evolutionary relationships between organisms. |
| Statement II: | Taxonomy takes into account only some easily observable external characters of organisms. |
| Statement I: | Taxa can indicate categories at very different levels. |
| Statement II: | Taxonomic groups/categories are not distinct biological entities but are merely morphological aggregates. |
| 1. | Statement I is correct and Statement II is also correct |
| 2. | Statement I is incorrect and Statement II is correct |
| 3. | Statement I is incorrect and Statement II is also incorrect |
| 4. | Statement I is correct and Statement II is incorrect |
