Question

Match the following:

	Column I		Column II
A	Artificial	i	Evolutionary relationships
B	Natural	ii	Vegetative characters
C	Phylogenetic	iii	Internal features

• A. A-i, B-ii, C-iii
• B. A-ii, B-iii, C-i
• C. A-ii, B-i, C-iii
• D. A-iii, B-ii, C-i

The correct option is B A-ii, B-iii, C-i

Artificial classification systems are based on vegetative and sexual characteristics.

Natural classification systems are based on natural affinities among the organisms and consider not only the external features, but also internal features, like ultrastructure, anatomy, embryology and phytochemistry.

Phylogenetic classification systems are based on the evolutionary relationships between the various organisms.
