Question

Chemotaxonomy does not deal with

• A. Chemical nature of protiens
• B. DNA sequences
• C. Aromatic compounds found in plants
• D. Chromosome number

Answer 1

The correct option is A Chemical nature of protiens

Chemotaxonomy is based on similarities and differences in the biochemical composition of plants and animals.

Chemical nature of proteins is universal and same across all organisms. Hence it cannot be used for classification.

Hence DNA sequences, Aromatic compounds, Chromosome numbers are a better method for classification.

So the correct answer is ' Chemical nature of proteins'.
