(a) Order (b) Class (c) Phylum (d) Family Which of the following is a name for a taxon that is identical to other such name? (a) Autonym (b) Synonym (c) Homonym (d) Tautonym Biosystematics aims at (a) Identification and arrangement of organisms on the basis of their cytological characteristics (b) The classification of organisms based on broad morphological characters (c) Delimiting various taxa of organisms and establishing their relationships (d) The classification of organisms based on their evolutionary history and establishing their phylogeny on the totality of various parameters from all fields of studies NBRI is situated at (a) Calcutta (b) Bombay (c) Madras (d) Lucknow Which of the following is not a taxon? (a) Carnivora (b) Insectivora (c) Herbivora (d) Mastigophora Who developed the key first for the identification of animals? (1) John Ray (2) Goethe (3) Cuvier (4) Theophrastus Which one of the following animals is correctly matched with its particular named taxonomic category? (a) Tiger – tigris, the species (b) Cuttle fish – mollusca, a class (c) Humans – primata, the family (d) Housefly – musca, an order Which of the following is less general in characters as compared to genus? (a) Species (b) Division (c) Class (d) Family Natural system of classfication was given by (1) George Bentham and Joseph Dalton Hooker (2) Hutchinson (3) Carolus Linnaeus (4) Ernst Haeckel Arrange the following taxonomic categories in increasing number of common characteristics w.r.t. plant mango A. Dicotyledonae B. Polymoniales C. Mangifera D. Angiospermae E. Anacardiaceae (a) A → D → B → E → C (b) A → D → C → B → E (c) D → A → B → E → C (d) D → A →C → E → B A binomial nomenclature has (1) 2 taxons (2) one name (3) 2 terms (4) None of these Gardens are meant for (1) Aesthetic value (2) Knowing origin of plants (3) Checking erosion and pollution (4) Protecting rare plants and to maintain gene pool Mark the odd one in the following (1) Family (2) Cohort (3) Taxon (4) Species The first modern Botanical garden was (1) Padua Botanical Garden (2) Royal Botanical Garden (3) Indian Botanical Garden (4) FRI Choose correct scientific name of mango. (a) Mangifera Indica (b) Mangifera indica Linn (c) Mangifera indica Hook (d) Mangifera indica L Botanical Gardens provide (1) Beautiful area for recreation (2) reservoir for tropical plants (3) Exsitu conservation of Germplasm (4) natural habitat for wild life Which of the following cannot be the criteria for grouping of plants / animals together?
