This question tests knowledge of the scientific (binomial) nomenclature of common plants. Binomial nomenclature is a formal system of naming species, where each species is given a name composed of two parts: the genus name and the species epithet. The scientific name for mango is a well-known example.
Correct Option: B) Mangifera indica
The question asks to identify the scientist who proposed the Binomial Nomenclature system. This requires knowledge of key figures in biology and their contributions to classification and genetics.
Correct Option: D) Carolus Linnaeus is credited with formalizing and popularizing the binomial nomenclature system. He is often referred to as the "father of modern taxonomy" for his contributions to the classification of organisms.
The question asks to identify the taxonomic category that groups together related genera. This requires knowledge of the hierarchical classification system used in biology, specifically the order of taxonomic ranks.
Correct Option: C) Family includes related genera. For example, the genus Panthera (lions, tigers, leopards) and the genus Felis (domestic cats) are both included in the Family Felidae.
The question asks which of the given microorganisms can be grown in an artificial or synthetic medium. This requires understanding the basic biological requirements for culturing bacteria, fungi, and viruses.
A) 1 and 2 only. Both bacteria and fungi can be grown in artificial/synthetic media, while viruses require living host cells for replication.
The question asks for the correct ascending order of taxonomic hierarchy. Taxonomic hierarchy is a system of classifying organisms into a series of ranks, from the most specific to the most general, or vice versa. Understanding the standard order of these ranks is crucial for answering this question.
A) Species < Genus < Family < Order < Class < Phylum < Kingdom. This option correctly lists the taxonomic ranks in ascending order, from the most specific (Species) to the most general (Kingdom).
The question asks us to evaluate two statements regarding viruses: Adenoviruses and Retroviruses, specifically focusing on their genetic material and the diseases they cause. We need to determine which of these statements is/are correct.
Correct Option: B) 2 only
