Question

(A) Number and codes are assigned to a few of the selected characters in numerical taxonomy.
(B) Phylogenetic classification systems are based on evolutionary relationships between the various organisms.
(C) Cytotaxonomy is based on cytological information like chromosome number, structure and behavior.

• A. A and B are incorrect
• B. Only C is correct
• C. Only A is incorrect
• D. B and C are incorrect

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Only A is incorrect

Numerical taxonomy is a classification system in biological systematics which deals with the grouping by numerical methods of taxonomic units based on their character states. It aims to create a taxonomy using numeric algorithms like cluster analysis rather than using subjective evaluation of their properties.

So, the correct option is "C" (Only A is incorrect).
