Answers:
1.)
Solution: c) Greater number of living organisms
When the observed area increases then the number and variety of organisms also increases. Hence, when a person visits dense forest then the person will see greater number of living organisms.
2.)
Solution: a) The types and number of organisms
The species number ranges between 1.7 to 1.8 million. And the number and types of organisms are referred to as Biodiversity.
3.)
Solution: d) ICBN
The International Code for Botanical Nomenclature is responsible for giving scientific names for the plants based on agreed principles and criteria.
4.)
Solution: b) Two
The scientific name of an organisms accepts universal principles. The scientific name included one Generic name and one specific epithet. Hence, it includes two components.
5.)
Solution: d) Nomenclature
A procedure where a particular organism is known by the same name all over the world is known as Nomenclature. This is an essential naming process for the living organisms.
6.)
Solution: c) Binomial nomenclature
In the living organisms, Binomial nomenclature is the system which responsible for providing a name with two components. This system include the Generic name and the specific epithet.
7.)
Solution: d) Animals
The ICZN or International Code of Zoological Nomenclature provides scientific names for animals. This ensures each organism will have only one name.
8.)
Solution: a) Mango
Mangifera indica is the written scientific name of mango where the generic name of mango is Mangifera and Species name is indica.
9.)
Solution: d) All of above
The systematics term refers to know more about various kinds of organisms. Later, the scope of systematics include nomenclature, identification and classification.
10.)
Solution: a) Carolus Linnaeus
The biologist Carolus Linnaeus is the one who has given the binomial naming system all over the world.
11.)
Solution: c) Both a) and b)
Taxa is basically represented by plants, dogs, and animals at a different levels, this term is used to study organisms category.
12.)
Solution:d) Systematic arrangement of organisms
The systematic word is basically originated from the system. Systema represents systematic arrangement of organisms.
13.)
Solution:b) International Code of Zoological Nomenclature
ICZN refers to International Code of Zoological Nomenclature where it provides scientific names for the organisms.
14.)
Solution: d) Latin
Biological name of the organisms are mainly derived from Latin and written in italics. Hence, it is usually in Latin.
15.)
Solution:d) It indicates Latin origin
The biological names should be printed in italics or underlined separately when handwritten because the biological names are originated from Latin.
16.)
Solution:b) At the end
In the biological name, author’s name is written at the end of the biological name. For examples, Mangifera indica Linn. Linn is the name of author.
17.)
Solution:c) Both internal and external structure
In the taxonomy, classification of organism occurs on the basis of characteristics. It includes characters like structure of cell, internal and external structure and development process.
18.)
Solution: b) Name of Genus
The biological name of mango is Mangifera indica where first word of biological name represents genus name and second word represents species name.
19.)
Solution: b) Classification
All the living organisms show different features and it is not possible for us to study all the living organisms. A process of grouping living organisms on the basis of easily observable characters, this process is known as classification.
20.)
Solution: d) Statement I is wrong and Statement II is correct
In the Statement I, the first word represents genus name in the biological name. Hence, statement I is wrong. In the Statement II, the specific epithet should start with a small letter is a universal rule of nomenclature. So, the Statement II is correct.
