| 1. | Will decrease | 2. | Will increase |
| 3. | Will remain same | 4. | May increase or decrease |
Which of the following ‘suffixes’ used for units of classification in plants indicates a taxonomic category of ‘family’.

3. Diversity of kinds of organisms and their relationship
4. Different kinds of organisms and their classification
Genus represents
1. An individual plant or animal
2. A collection of plants or animals
3. Group of closely related species of plants or animals

The taxonomic unit ‘Phylum’ in the classification of animals is equivalent to which hierarchical level in classification of plants?
| 1. | Class | 2. | Order |
| 3. | Division | 4. | Family |
All living organisms are linked to one another because
1. They have common genetic material of the same type
2. They share common genetic material but to varying degrees
3. All have common cellular organization
4. All of the above
The process of classification of living organisms into different taxa is called as:
| 1. Identification | 2. Nomenclature |
| 3. Taxonomy | 4. Characterization |
