State the merits of whitewater method of classification |
|
Answer» The five-kingdom classification has certain drawbacks also, particularly with reference to the lower forms of life. · The kingdoms Monera and Protista include diverse, heterogeneous forms of life. In both the kingdoms there are photosynthetic (autotrophic) as well as non-photosynthetic (heterotrophic) organisms. Both the kingdoms include organisms which have cells with cell wall as well as without cell wall. · NONE of the three higher kingdoms include a single ancestor of all its forms. · MULTICELLULAR lines have originated from PROTISTANS several times. · Unicellular green algae like Volvox and Chlamydomonas have not been included under Protista because of their resemblance to other green algae. · Slime moulds DIFFER totally from other members of Protista in their general organization. · Viruses have not been given proper PLACE in this system of classification |
