Question

Taxonomy based on determination of genetic relationship is

• A. Cytotaxonomy
• B. Numerical taxonomy
• C. Biochemical taxonomy
• D. Experimental taxonomy

Answer 1

The correct option is D Experimental taxonomy

Cytotaxonomy is the classification of the organisms on the basis of the structure of the chromosomes.

Biochemical taxonomy is based on the analysis of the chemical constituents present in the cells of the organisms.

Numerical taxonomy involves quantitative assessment of similarities and differences in the related organisms.

Experimental taxonomy is based on the genetic relationship between the organisms which are taken into consideration. The similarities are determined with the help of experiments.

Thus, the correct answer is option D.
