What was the basis of the classification given by George Bentham and Joseph Dalton Hooker?
Answer
He suggested natural classification. This classification was suggested on the basis of natural relationships among organisms and external properties as well as internal properties, such as structure, body, embryology and phytochemistry.
What are the defects in artificial classification? Explain.
Answer
Linnaeus gave artificial classification. In artificial classification, physical and sexual characteristics were given equal recognition. But this is not right. This classification was based on fewer characteristics; they separated very closely related species.
