Which one is correct ? (1) Modem classification?based on phylogeny (2) Artificial classification?Theophrasms (3) Biometry?study of geographical distribution of organisms (4) Natural classification?based on genetic and reproductive characterA) 1, 2 and 3 are correct
B) 1 and 2 are correct
C) 1,2 and 4 are correct
D) 1 and 3 are correct
Correct Answer: C
Solution :
Artificial system: In artificial system of classification only a few characters of the plants are being considered for example, the grouping of plants into herbs, shrubs and trees. Theophrastus was the father of Botany. His classification was stricly artificial. Natural classification is based on genetic and reproductive characters- This classification reflects the situation as it is through to exist under natural conditions. Modem classification is based on phytogeny. In this classification, the plants are classified according to their evolutionary and genetic affinities. It is also known as phylogeneuc classification.
