How many statements for artificial systems of classification are correct from given statements?
i. The classification used only gross superficial morphological characters.
ii. They were based mainly on vegetative characters or on the androecium structure.
iii. Not give equal weightage to vegetative and sexual characteristics.
iv. They separated the closely related species since they were based on a few characteristics.
v. They were based on habit, colour, number and shape of leaves etc.

Answer

C. Five
Explanation:
Artificial classification systems primarily relied on easily observable, superficial morphological features like leaf shape, color, and habit, often focusing heavily on vegetative characteristics or the structure of the androecium, without giving equal weightage to both vegetative and sexual features, which often led to closely related species being separated due to their reliance on a limited set of characteristics.
