P.I 1.1 & 1.2 PLANT IDENTIFICATION & CLASSIFICATION

What is plant identification?

• The process of analyzing plant growth patterns to predict crop yields.

• The study of plant anatomy and physiology for academic research.

• The method of recognizing and naming plants based on their features.

• The classification of plants into families and orders.

What is plant classification?

• The study of plant diseases and their effects on agriculture.

• The grouping of plants based on their shared characteristics.

• The process of creating new plant species through genetic engineering.

• The method of planting crops in specific patterns for better yield.

What is binomial nomenclature?

• A system of naming plants based on their color and size.

• The classification of plants using local or common names.

• A two-word scientific naming system for organisms, including plants.

• The grouping of plants into families based on their habitat.

Why is binomial nomenclature important in scientific communication?

• It provides a universal standard for naming organisms

• It simplifies the classification system

• It allows for regional variation in names

• It is easier to remember than common names

In binomial nomenclature, the two-part name of a plant consists of:

• a) Family and genus names

• b) Genus and species names

• c) Species and order names

• d) Class and family names

Which of the following is a key characteristic used in plant identification?

• Leaf shape

• Stem color

• Root depth

• Seed size

Which of the following correctly represents the hierarchical order of plant classification from highest to lowest?

• Order, Class, Family, Species, Genus

• Class, Kingdom, Phylum, Genus, Species

• Family, Order, Class, Phylum, Species, Genus

• Kingdom, Division, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species

The species epithet in a binomial name is always:

• a) Capitalized

• b) Italicized and capitalized

• c) Written in lowercase and italicized

• d) Written in lowercase and underlined

Which of the following is a correctly written binomial name?

• a) Quercus Robur

• b) quercus robur

• c) Quercus robur

• d) Quercus robur

Who is credited with developing the binomial nomenclature system?

• Charles Darwin

• Gregor Mendel

• Carl Linnaeus

• Alexander von Humboldt
