Question

Merit of Bentham and Hooker's system is

• A. Placement of renales in beginning
• B. Placement of orchidaceae in microspermae
• C. Placement of asteraceae in beginning of gamopetalae
• D. Position of gymnospermae in between dicots and monocots

Answer 1

The correct option is A Placement of renales in beginning

• Renales are the most primitive living angiosperms hence placing them, in the beginning, is the merit of Bentham and Hooker's system.

• Placement of Orchidaceae in microspermae is demerit as it is an advanced family.
• The placement of Gymnospermae in between dicots monocots is a demerit as gymnosperms are primitive compared to both monocots and dicots.

So, the correct option is 'Placement of renals in beginning'.
