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

Answer 1

The correct option is D Experimental taxonomy

Experimental taxonomy includes nomenclature, phylogenetics and systematics. Therefore, experimental taxonomy is the new systematics which is based on genetic interrelationships.

Chemotaxonomy is based on the biochemical constituents of the organisms.

Cytotaxonomy is classification based on the cytological characteristics of the

Numerical taxonomy is based on the numerical data for classification of organisms.
