Question
What was the drawback of artificial system of classification?
✓

Answer

The artificial system of classification was mainly based on vegetative characters or on the androecium structure (system given by Linnaeus). Such system separated the closely related species since they were based on a few characteristics. The artificial system gives equal weightage to vegetative and sexual characteristics. This is not convincing because the vegetative characters are more easily affected by the environment.

Anurag and Amit (students of class XIth) were best friends, one day during the lunch time Anurag gave naashpati (Pyrus) to Amit (as he was fond of that). Amit refused to eat it because he did not like them due to their hardness as compared to apples. Anurag reached home and told her mother (a botanist) that he will also not eat naashpati's. His mother corrected him and told him that he should eat it, as it contains the calcium for the growth of the body.
