The detailed solution above uses a step-by-step approach to show the reasoning, and where available, a shortcut that helps you solve similar questions in under 90 seconds during the actual exam.
This topic covers the classification of living things: the five-kingdom system of Whittaker, binomial nomenclature, the scientific names of common plants and animals, the major groups of plants and animals, and the features of microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses and fungi. Questions commonly ask who proposed the five-kingdom classification (R. H. Whittaker), who is the father of taxonomy (Carl Linnaeus), and the scientific names of familiar organisms, such as Homo sapiens (humans), Mangifera indica (mango) and Panthera tigris (tiger). Know the key features that separate the animal phyla. Practise the classification of living organisms questions below, written in the style of the general awareness sections of exams such as SSC, banking, railways, CUET GAT, MAH CET and CLAT. Each question comes with a detailed explanation that adds related facts, so every question helps you revise more than one point.
