Question

Which among the following is a system of classification where a large number of traits are considered?

• A. Artificial system
• B. Phylogenetic system
• C. Synthetic system
• D. Natural system

Answer 1

The correct option is D Natural system

Natural classification is based upon morphological and anatomical characteristics and affinities considered in the light of phylogeny and embryology specifically. In this system of classification, a large number of traits are considered for classifying organisms.
The Artificial System of Classification, also called the Synthetic system, is based on the grouping together of plants according to the number and location of their stamens, styles, and stigmas rather than their evolutionary relationships.
The phylogenetic system of classification is based on the evolutionary trends of the organisms.
