(1) It is essentially a collection of living plants maintained for both pure and applied studies (2) It is essentially a collection of plants only (3) It is essentially the collection of rare and fossil plants (4) It is for research work on Which of the following taxonomic categories contains organisms least similar to one another? (1) Class (2) Family (3) Genus (4) Species Which of the following cannot be the criteria for grouping of plants / animals together? (1) Similar reproductive physiology (2) Similar behavioral/mating pattern (3) Anatomical similarity (4) Genetic similarity Reason of diversity in living being is (1) Mutation (2) long term evolutionary changes (3) Short term evolutionary changes (4) gradual changes Arrange the following taxonomic categories in increasing number of common characteristics w.r.t. plant mango A.
