As we go from species to kingdom in a taxonomic hierarchy, the number of common characteristics:
1. | Will decrease | 2. | Will increase |
3. | Will remain same | 4. | May increase or decrease |
The taxonomic unit ‘Phylum’ in the classification of animals is equivalent to which hierarchical level in classification of plants?
1. | Class | 2. | Order |
3. | Division | 4. | Family |
Match the following and choose the correct option:
A. Family | i. tuberosum |
B. Kingdom | ii. Polymoniales |
C. Order | iii. Solanum |
D. Species | iv. Plantae |
E. Genus | v. Solanacea |
i | ii | iii | iv | v | |
1. | D | C | E | B | A |
2. | E | D | B | A | C |
3. | D | E | B | A | C |
4. | E | C | B | A | D |
Consider the following statements:
I: | Lion, leopard and tiger belong to same genus. |
II: | Lion, leopard, tiger and cats belong to same family. |
III: | Lion, leopard, tiger, cats and dogs belong to same order. |
This implies that:
1. | Cats and dogs are more closely related to each other than cats and leopards |
2. | Lions share maximum characteristics with dogs |
3. | Lion, leopard and tiger are capable of interbreeding and producing fertile offspring |
4. | Lion, leopard, tiger, cats and dogs may belong to the same class in taxonomic hierarchy |
Humans belong to the Order:
1. | Hominidae | 2. | Primata |
3. | Mammalia | 4. | Vertebrata |
Both cats and dogs belong to same:
1. | species | 2. | genus |
3. | family | 4. | order |
Which taxonomic category is not correctly matched with name regarding the classification of the housefly?
1. | Phylum: Arthropoda | 2. | Class: Diptera |
3. | Family: Muscidae | 4. | Genus: Musca |
