Consider the following statements about basis of classification.
I. Amphibians are classified on the basis of their habitat.
II. Reptiles are classified on the basis of the nature of their skulls.
III. Birds are classified on the basis of their bones.
IV. Mammals are classified on the basis of their mode of reproduction.
Choose the correct option
Only I
I and II
Only II
II and IV
C.
Only II
Only statement II is correct as classification of reptiles is based on temporal fossa on skull. The Class - Reptilia is divided into the following sub-classes as follows:-
1. Arapsida : Primitive reptiles with a solid skull roof and no temporal opening.
2. Parapsid : Reptiles with one temporal fossa, placed high upon the skull.
3. Diapsida : Reptiles with two temporal fossa.
4. Synapsida : Reptiles with one temporal fossa, on the lower sides of the temporal region of the skull.
5. Euryapsida : Reptiles with one temporal fossa and an opening behind orbit.
In biosystematics, the basis of classification is
major morphological characters
cytological characters
evolutionary history considering various parameters from different fields of studies
phenotypic relationships between species
