Question

What are the different types of modern taxonomy?

Answer 1

Modern taxonomy:

1. Modern taxonomy takes into account all aspects of an organism except morphological characteristics such as genetic components, phylogenetic affiliation, cellular structure, reproduction, mode of nutrition, etc.

The types of modern taxonomy are as follows:

1. Cytotexonomy: Cytotexonomy is a paradigm shift in classification that uses the characteristics of cellular structures primarily to classify organisms.
2. Numerical classification: Numerical classification is a biological methodological classification system that classifies units of classification by numerical methods based on their character status.
3. Chemotaxonomy: Chemotaxonomy identifies and classifies organisms based on differences and similarities in such biochemical structures.
