4 Marks Questions
Q: What is meant by identification and nomenclature? How is a key helpful in the identification and classification of an organism?
A: Identification means to determine whether a collected organism is entirely new or
already known.
- Nomenclature means providing a scientific name to an identified organism.
- A taxonomic key is based on contrasting characters in pairs (couplet).
- It refers to a choice between two opposite options out of which one is accepted and the other rejected. Thus plants or animals may be classified using keys based on similarities and differences. Each taxonomic category requires separate taxonomic keys.
Ex: Couplet in a key:
Reticulate venation - Parallel venation
Flower pentamerous - Trimerous
Tap root - Fibrous root
Two cotyledons in seed - One cotyledon in seed
By comparing the characters of a plant with the above options one can classify a plant into dicotyledonae / monocotyledonae.
