Identify the incorrecty statement:

1. Numerical Taxonomy is based on all observable characteristics.

2. More weightage is given to reproductive characters and all other characters are given equal importance in numerical taxonomy.

3. Cytotaxonomy is based on cytological information like chromosome number, structure, behaviour

4. Chemotaxonomy uses the chemical constituents of the plant
