Answer» The correct choice is (d) Numerical taxonomy gives the same result irrespective of the DIFFERENT sets of characteristics considered Easiest EXPLANATION: Numerical CLASSIFICATION is based on mathematical calculations based on observable characteristics. In this mode of classification, each character is given a number or a code. The more the number of similar characters, the more is the chance that they belong to similar taxon. The main DISADVANTAGE of numerical taxonomy COMES with the variation in result with variation in set of characteristics.
