Consider the following statements:

(a) Plants are divided into five groups: Thallophytes, Bryophytes, Pteridophytes, gymnosperms, and Angiosperms.
(b) Monera is divided into Archaebacteria and Eubacteria.
(c) $Penicillium$ and Yeast both belong to group fungi.

Which of the above statements are correct?

• A. (a) and (b)
• B. (b) and (c)
• C. (a), (b) and (c)
• D. None of these

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

(a), (b) and (c)

The first level of classification among plants depends on whether the plant body is well-differentiated or not. The next level of classification is based on whether the differentiated body has special vascular tissues for the transport of water and other substances. Further classification is based on the ability to bear seeds and whether the seeds are naked or enclosed within fruits.
Monera is a kingdom that contains unicellular organisms with no nuclear membrane, such as bacteria. It can be divided into Archaebacteria and Eubacteria.
A fungus is any member of a large group of eukaryotic organisms that includes microorganisms such as yeasts and molds, as well as the more familiar mushrooms. Penicillium and Yeast both belong to group fungi.

So, the correct answer is '(a), (b) and (c)'
