The method of classification adopted by Whittaker is much better than the method adopted by Carl Linnaeus the father of the science of classification. What is your response to this statement? |
|
Answer» The classification of Linnaeus had only two kingdoms, plants, and animals. He did not consider bacteria, protozoa, fungus, etc. Certain characters of animals considered by Linnaeus for classification are found in both the kingdoms, eg. photosynthesis found in plants is seen in some animals like Euglena. Certain characters of animals can be seen in plants also, eg certain types of algae. But Whittaker adopted the method of having five kingdoms including protozoa and bacteria.
