Question

Practical significance of taxonomy is-
A. Identification of organisms.
B. To understand diversity.
C. To understand evolution.
D. Of the above.

Answer 1

Taxonomy is the branch of science that deals with principles, procedures of naming animals or organisms in different categories we can also call it as classification. Nomenclature is considered as a part of taxonomy but there is a difference as it is a sub-category of taxonomy. It defines the scientific names of organisms and naming of organisms according to their species and genus name. diversification, evolution and somewhat related to taxonomy but are completely different.

Complete explanation:
Option A identification of organisms- identification of organisms comes under classification according to their species, genus name. classification is a part of a taxonomic group, as taxonomic groups define a variety of categories to deal with animals based on their characters and size, basically morphology.
So, option A is not correct.
Option B to understand diversity- diversity shows the diversification of animals. The world we live in has an amazing diversification of animals. Diversity relates to the different kinds of animals prior to their habitats or living conditions or any special character living together in a biosphere. It signifies that every animal can stay together no matter what the difference is.
So, option B is not correct.
Option C to understand evolution- to understand evolution, animals are not present in earth they have been evolved from cosmic particles. The history of life forms and their growth is studied under the term called evolution. Evolution is a concept where all life forms are categorized according to their days on earth, determining how old they are. Different animals have different ages.
So, option C is not correct.
Option D None of the above- hence, we have already discussed the protocols exactly what is meant by taxonomy so, the above options do not fit correctly.
So, option D is correct.

Hence, Option D is the correct answer.

Note:
As we discussed the evolution and evolutionary concepts, each animal holds a specific age or period from which they have been born or came into life. Since the category is a part of taxonomic arrangement. Different types of taxonomic categories are- class, order, family, genus and species. Different kinds of organisms and their diversities are called systematics.
