Question 1

In India, the largest herbarium is located at

Accepted Answer

Central National Herbarium, the largest herbarium in South East Asia, is situated within the Indian Botanical Garden at Shibpur in West Bengal. It was established by the Botanical Survey of India.So, the correct answer is option D.

Question 2

Here are the points to classify a dog:1-Chordata2-Class3-Carnivora4-Family5-Canis6-Species. If one has to classify a dog according to the hierarchy, each point corresponds to which of the following?

Accepted Answer

The give taxonomical hierarchy of dog is Phylum- ChordataClass- MammaliaOrder- CarnivoraFamily- CanidaeGenus- CanisSpecies- familiaris

Question 3

The process which helps in the continuation of a race is______________.

Accepted Answer

The process of reproduction helps in the maintenance of life on the Earth.  Species continuation takes place due to the increase in the number of organisms in the same species through reproduction. During reproduction, genetic variation takes place which forms the basis of adaptation and evolution of life. Thus, the correct answer is option A.

Question 4

Accepted Answer

Systematics is the study of the biological diversity of the organisms and their evolution. Taxonomy is considered as a part of systematics which deals with biological classification. Classification systems help to arrange the organisms in groups on the basis of their similarities and differences. The classification system also helps to study relationships, traits, identify the organisms and provide a name. The main aim of the classification system is to reflect evolutionary relationships among organisms.Thus, the correct answer is option B.

Question 5

Which of the following is correct combination for wheat?

Accepted Answer

Wheat belongs to genus Triticum. Triticum represents to free-threshing wheat. Family Poaceae or Gramineae is a big and nearly universal family of grasses. It contains cereal grasses and the flowers in the family are typically small, enclosed by bracts, and are arranged in inflorescence. Order Poales contains species whose flowers are wind pollinated (mostly). Other than that seeds are usually stored with starch like in wheat and rice. Class Monocotyledonae contain seed plants that develop an embryo with a single cotyledon and parallel-veined leaves. It includes grasses, lilies, palms, and orchids. Thus, the correct option is 'Genus: Triticum, Family: Poaceae, Order: Poales, Class: Monocotyledonae'.

Question 6

Accepted Answer

The term species is given to the major subdivision of a genus and is considered a basic unit of biological classification. A species is, therefore, a cohesive unit made up of such members who are related biologically and resemble one another with an ability to breed among themselves, but not among another. However, even as the reason given for the assertion sounds appropriate, this does not apply to organisms that reproduce asexually and also many plants and some animals that form hybrids in nature.Thus, the correct answer is option B.

Question 7

Toppr Ask Question

Accepted Answer

Taxonomy is the science of classification of organisms such as plants, animals and even microbes on the basis of observation, anatomy and chemical characteristics. The science of classification of plant is called as plant taxonomy. Systematics is concerned with the diversity, history and evolution of organisms. thus, the plant taxonomy is called as systematic botany.Hence, the correct answer is option C.

Question 8

Mayr's biological concepts of species is mainly based on

Accepted Answer

Mayr proposed the origin of species in his book 'Systematics and the Origin of Species'. He told that when a group of the population becomes separated from its original group by time or geography, then there is an evolution of new traits in them and they cannot interbreed. This isolation creates new species.So, the correct answer is 'Reproductive isolation'.

Question 9

Binomial system of nomenclature for plants is effect from

Accepted Answer

Species Plantarum was published on 1st May 1753 by Carl Linnaeus, which lists every species of plant known at the time, classified into genera.Thus answer is - '1 / 5 / 1753.

Question 10

Which one of the taxonomic aid give comprehensive account of complete compiled information of any one genus or family at a particular time?

Accepted Answer

The monograph is a book or essay which gives a comprehensive account of all available information about the genus, family or higher category of grouping at the time of its publication.It is a highly useful taxonomic aid. Thus, the correct answer is option D.
