Question

Natural system of classification is given by
A- Bentham and Hooker
B- Carolus Linnaeus
C- Charles darwin
D- Engler and pranti

Answer 1

Hint:It is the system of classification which takes several morphological features for grouping of organisms to bring out natural similarities and dissimilarities.

Complete answer:
Bentham and Hooker gave the natural system of classification . The seeded plants are divided into dicotyledons, gymnosperms and monocotyledons. The dicotyledons are divided into Polypetalae, Gamopetalous, and Monochlamydeae. The natural system of classification is based on the natural observation of species. The placement of Gymnospermae between Dicotyledonae and Monocotyledones was considered as a demerit of this classification.
Carolus Linnaeus is the father of classification .He classified the living organisms in the systematic way for the first time. He classified all the living organisms under two large kingdoms- kingdom plantae and kingdom animalia.
Charles Darwin gave the theory of Natural selection. So option c is also not correct.
The Engler and Prantl system of classification is based on evolutionary sequence and genetic relationships between various groups of plants.

Hence option ‘A’ is the correct answer.

Additional information:
Natural system of classification has specific advantages over the artificial system of classification.
>It avoids the heterogeneous grouping of unrelated organisms.
>It helps in placing only related groups of organisms together.
>It shows the natural relationship among the various organisms.

Note:In total we have three types of classification
1- Artificial system of classification
2- Natural system of classification
3- Two kingdom classification
