Question

Which taxonomic aid gives comprehensive account of complete compiled information of a genus or family at a particular time?

• A. Taxonomic key
• B. Herbarium
• C. Monograph
• D. Flora

Answer 1

The correct option is C Monograph

• With the help of a key, we can identify an organism based on its characteristics. Keys are constructed so that the person is presented with a series of choices about the characteristics of the unknown organisms; by making the correct choice at each step of the key, the user is ultimately led to the identity of a specimen.
• A herbarium is a place where dried and pressed specimens are Preserved.
• The monograph provides the complete comprehensive account of a genus or a family at a particular time. It is a detailed written study of a single Genus or Family.
  
• Flora is the living population of plants in a particular area at a particular time period.
  

So, the correct option is 'Monograph'.
