Q. No.The five kingdom classification was proposed by
| 1. | R. H. Whittaker | 2. | C. Linnaeus |
| 3. | A. Roxberg | 4. | Virchow |
In the Two Kingdom classification, the Kingdom Plantae was erroneous with some major issues that include:
| I: | Placing bacteria and blue green algae with eukaryotic groups |
| II: | Grouping together the unicellular organisms with multicellular ones |
| III: | Placing heterotrophic fungi with autotrophic plants |
| 1. | I and II only | 2. | I and III only |
| 3. | II and III only | 4. | I, II and III |
Who, amongst the following, was the earliest to attempt a more scientific basis of classification?
| 1. | Aristotle | 2. | John Ray |
| 3. | Tournefort | 4. | Linnaeus |
Kingdom Monera in Whittaker’s Five Kingdom classification is not characterized by:
1. Prokaryote cell type
2. Cellulosic cell wall
3. Absence of nuclear membrane
4. Cellular body organization
Phylogenetic classification is based on:
| 1. | Morphological similarities | 2. | Physiological similarities |
| 3. | Reproductive similarities | 4. | Evolutionary relationships |
In Whittaker’s Five Kingdom classification, heterotrophic mode of nutrition is present in members of:
| 1. | Two kingdoms | 2. | Three kingdoms |
| 3. | Four kingdoms | 4. | Five kingdoms |
Which of the following organisms, earlier placed in Animal Kingdom, is placed under Kingdom Protista in Whittaker’s classification?
| 1. | Ameoba proteus | 2. | Chlamydomonas |
| 3. | Gonyaulax | 4. | Chlorella |
The main criteria for classification used by Whittaker included all the following, except:
1. Cell structure and body organization
2. Mode of nutrition
3. Mode of reproduction
4. Mode of locomotion
