Biological Classification

The two kingdom Classification was Proposed by

• Whittaker

• Bentham

• Hutchinson

• Linnaeus

The five kingdom classification includes the following kingdoms

• Monera, Algae, Fungi, Plantae, Animalia

• Bacteria, Algae, Fungi, Plantae, Animalia

• Monera, Protista, Fungi, Plantae, Animalia

• Bacteria, Protista, Fungi, Plantae, Animalia

Fungi was separated from kingdom Plantae and introduced as a new kingdom because fungi

i) have cell wall which is made of Chitin

ii) are mostly unicellular

iii) are prokaryotic

iv) have heterotrophic mode of nutrition

Chose the correct combination from below

• i) and ii)

• i) and iii)

• i) and iv)

• ii) and iv)

Which of the following is not a kingdom in Copeland’s Four Kingdom Classification?

• Monera

• Protista

• Fungi

• Animalia

Which of the following is not common characteristics of plants and animals in Five kingdom classification

i) Eukaryotic cell type

ii) Presence of Cell wall

iii) Presence of Organ system

iv) Presence of Nuclear membrane

Chose the correct combination from below options

• i) and ii)

• ii) and iv)

• i) and iii)

• ii) and iii)

Which of the following is NOT the main criteria for classification proposed by Whittaker?

• Cell structure

• Mode of nutrition

• Locomotion

• Phylogenetic Relationship

The Two Kingdom Classification was found to have certain drawbacks for which other classifications emerged later. Which one of the following was not a drawback of the two kingdom classification?

• Grouping of prokaryotes and eukaryotes together

• Cyanobacteria was placed under plant kingdom

• organism having cell wall separated from organism lacking cell wall

• Unicellular amd multicellular organisms were not separated

Which statement about Three kingdom classification is not True?

• It was proposed by E. Haeckel

• A new kingdom Monera was introduced

• The kingdom included unicellular animals, algae and fungi

• Organisms do not have tissue level organisation

Which one of the following statements is true about the Four Kingdom classification?

• It was proposed by E. Haeckel

• A new kingdom called Monera was created

• The new kingdom included all unicellular prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms

• The four kingdoms are Animalia, Plantae, Fungi & Protista

Which of the following is NOT a drawback / demerit of the 5 Kingdom classification?

• Not including Viruses in any of the kingdoms

• Keeping Slime moulds under Protista

• Classification is Phylogenetic

• Heterogenocity in Kingdom Protista
