Ans: Carolus Linnaeus
Ans: Addison
6. What is meant by cytotaxonomy?
Ans: Classification based on chromosome number
7. Define life
Ans: Life is a unique and complex organisation of molecules expressing itself through chemical reactions which lead to growth, development, responsiveness, adaptation and reproduction.
8. Define taxon
Ans: A group of similar genetically related individuals.
9. What is meant by identification of a species?
Ans:Identification is aimed at finding the correct name and the proper position of a species in the established scheme of classification.
10. What is molecular homology? Give one example
Ans: Similarity among the organisms at molecular level.
Example: Similar base sequences in DNA and amino acid sequences in proteins
