Q. No.| 1. | Carolus Linnaeus | 2. | Ernst Haeckel |
| 3. | R.H. Whittaker | 4. | Carl Woese |
| 1. | Morphological similarities |
| 2. | Biochemical similarities |
| 3. | Phylogenetic relationships |
| 4. | Ecological roles |
First time the scientific basis for classification was attempted by -
| 1. | Theopharastus | 2. | Aristotle |
| 3. | Van Neil | 4. | Darwin |
In five kingdom classification, which single kingdom contains blue-green algae, nitrogen-fixing bacteria and methanogenic archaebacteria
| 1. | Monera | 2. | Protista |
| 3. | Plantae | 4. | Fungi |
In Linnaeus’ times the living organisms were placed in:
1. One kingdom
2. Two kingdoms
3. Three kingdoms
4. Four kingdoms
According to five kingdom system, gymnosperms and angiosperms are grouped under the kingdom
1. Monera
2. Protista
3. Fungi
4. Plantae
Five kingdom system of classification suggested by R.H. Whittaker is based on:
1. Complexity of body organisation
2. Mode of reproduction
3. Mode of nutrition
4. All of the above
| 1. | Organisms are grouped based solely on physical characteristics. |
| 2. | All species evolve at the same rate. |
| 3. | Classification should reflect evolutionary relationships and common ancestry. |
| 4. | Environmental factors have no influence on evolutionary history. |
| Assertion(A): | The two kingdom classification used for a long time was found inadequate. |
| Reason(R): | This system did not distinguish between the eukaryotes and prokaryotes, unicellular and multicellular organisms and photosynthetic (green algae) and non-photosynthetic (fungi) organisms. |
| 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. |
Which is wrongly matched?
1. Fungi - Heterotrophic group
2. Prokaryotes- Protista
3. Unicellular+nuclear membrane possessing - Protista
4. Chlamydomonas and amoeba - Protista
