Chapter 3 : Plant Kingdom Flashcards
What are the kingdoms in the five kingdom classification and who made this classification and when?
RH Whittaker 1969
monera , protista , fungi , plantae and animalia
What were the conditions of the earliest classification?
gross morphology
like habitat , colour and number and shape
What type of classification was Linneuas classification? What was one of its special charecteristics? Why is it not acceptable?
artificial classification
equal weitage to both vegetative and sexual charecters
because it have equal importance to vegetative charecters as it can change easily with environment
What are the charecters taken into account in natural classificaiton ?
their natural affinites
external and internal features like anatomy, structure, embryology and phytochemistry
What is the present phylogenetic classificaiton systme based on ?
evolutionary relationship between the various organism
What is the numerical taxonmy based on ?
each charecter is given a certain code and then they are porcessed in a computer
What is cehmotaxonomy and cytotaxonomy based on ?
chemotaxonomy : it is based on the chemical produced by the plants like resin
cytotaxonomy :based on the chemical constituents of hte plant
What is the habitat of algae?
chlorophyll thalloid organism , autotrophic and large aquatic organism
they occur in variety of habitat such as moist soilds , wood and sone in association with fungi , animals
