I: | It is the most acceptable system for classification of living organisms. |
II: | The vegetative characters are more easily affected by environment. |
1. | an artificial system based mainly on the androecium structure. |
2. | a natural system based on large number of natural affinities between flowering plants. |
3. | was a phylogenetic system based on evolutionary relationships. |
4. | was a chemotaxonomic system based on structure of homologous proteins. |
In numerical taxonomy:
I: | computers are used and all the observable characters are taken into consideration. |
II: | hundreds of characters can be considered together and each character is given equal importance. |
1. Only I is correct
2. Only II is correct
3. Both I and II are correct
4. both I and II are incorrect
1. | It is a natural system of classification. |
2. | It totally disregarded the external characters and did not include them to classify plants. |
3. | It used internal features like structure, anatomy, embryology and phytochemistry. |
4. | It was based on natural affinities among the organisms. |

1. Rings of cellulose-synthesizing proteins
2. Structure of flagellated sperms
3. Formation of a phragmoplast
4. Presence of chlorophyll a and b
