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
