Question

Numerical taxonomy is likely to furnish more reliable and stable information about the relations of taxa for classification. Discuss.

Answer 1

Hint: Taxonomy is the science dealing with the description, identification, naming and classification of organisms. Taxonomy is based on external or expressed characters, genetic character or expression, genes and phylogenetics or evolutionary related information.

Complete answer:
Numerical Taxonomy:
-This is classified based on numerous characteristics
-The total number of characters they have in common
-Their characteristics are- physiological, morphological, biochemical, behavioural.
-This type of classification is called phonetic classification.
-Various groups are linked together according to the degree of similarity between them which gives a tree-like diagram called a dendrogram.
-Its aim to create a taxonomy using numeric algorithms like cluster analysis rather than using subjective evolution of their properties.
Relationship of texa:
-Taxonomic groups are based on hypotheses regarding evolutionary relationships derived from systematics.
-Phylogenetic system is a system of classification based on the evolutionary and genetic relationship of organisms in addition to natural characters,
-This taxonomy takes into account all available phenotypic and genotypic data and integrates them in a consensus type of classification, framed in a general phylogeny derived from 16 s rRNA sequence analysis.

Note:
Systematic: This is the study of biological diversity and the evolutionary relationships among organisms, both extinct and modern.
Taxonomy: The science of describing, naming and classifying living and extinct and Morden.
-Numerical taxonomy is a classification system in biological systems which deals with the grouping by numerical method of taxonomic units based on their character states.
-The concept of numerical taxonomy was first developed by Robert R. Sokal and Peter H. A. Sneath in 1963.
