Question

Numerical taxonomy is likely to furnish more reliable and stable information on the relationships of taxa for classification. Discuss.

Answer 1

Numerical taxonomy is a type of taxonomy uses mathematical procedures to numerically encode the characters of the organisms. This type of taxonomy gives equal importance to each and every character and many characters can be considered conveniently at a time. It is stable as these characters don't change with region they grow or the season. Like the number of anthers in a flower stay constant always. These numerical characters helps to know the relation between the species and their biological relationships. Hence the given statement is thus discussed.
