What are the differences between artificial and natural system of classification.

Ans:Following are the difference:

Artificial System:

1. Classification without basing on relationship among plants.

2. Based on one or two superficial morphological characters.

3. Characters chosen were arbitrary, sexual and for sake of convenience only .

4. Does not give any idea on origin and evolution of different taxa.

Example: Linnaean system.

Natuaral System:

1. Classification basing on form or natural relationship between plants.

1. Based on one or more natural characters.

2. Characters chosen were permanently retained sexual or vegetative characters.

3. Also does not give any idea on origin and evolution of different taxa, but gives some idea on their natural relationship.

Example: Bentham and Hooker’s system.

Rules of Binomial Nomenclature:

Because scientific Names are unique species identifiers, they ensure that there is never any confusion as to which organism a scientist may be referring. Additionally, there are some important rules that must be followed to keep all binomial Names standardized:

1. Each organism consists of generic Name and specific Name.

2. The entire two-part Name must be written in italics (or underlined when handwritten).

2. The genus Name is always written first and followed by...

What is floral diversity?

Floral diversity refers to the diversity of plants occurring in a specific region during particular era.

2. who proposed the word "domain" in three domain system ?

3. define archaea .

Archaea are a group of micro-organisms that are similar to, but evolutionarily distinct from bacteria.These microorganisms lack cell nuclei and are therefore prokaryotes.

4. which genus members are the smallest of the archaea?

5. give any two characterstics of bacteria.

There are three notable common traits of bacteria

lack of membrane-bound organelles
unicellular and
small (usually microscopic) size.

6. which kingdoms does eukarya include?

7. who developed the binomial system of nomenclature? mention the date as well.

8. define binomial nomenclature .

9. define trinomial nomenclature.

10. who classified all living organism of earth into five groups?

give any four charcaterstics of archaea

mention the types of archaea with examples

mention the type of bacteria with one example each.

mention four characterstics of eukarya

Mention the advantages of binomial nomenclature

6.mention the characterstics of kingdom animalia

7.mention the advantages of five system of classification

8.mention the disadvantages of five system of classification

Following are the disadvantages of Five system of classification :-

• It puts unicellular algae in kingdom Protista but multicellular algae in kingdom plantae. However, both the organisms must belong to the same group.

• Thus organisms showing similarities are placed quite apart. For example unicellular and multicellular algae.
• Many organisms with dissimilarities have been put together in kingdom Protista. This leads to diversity in kingdom Protista.
• Viruses are entirely excluded from the...

Explain the advantages of binomial system of nomenclature.

The advantages of the binomial system of nomenclature, introduced by Carolus Linnaeus, can be summarized in the following points:

1. Clarity and Standardization: The binomial system assigns a unique two-part Latinized name to each species, consisting of a genus name and a species name. This system ensures clarity and precision in identifying and communicating about organisms, as it provides a standardized and universally recognized naming convention.

2. Ease of Communication: The use of...
