Q: What is the branch of biology related to the classification of organisms?
  • A. Taxonomy
  • B. Nothology
  • C. Anatomy
  • D. Limnology
Correct Answer: Option A - Taxonomy is the branch of biology related to the classification of organisms. It is basically related to Biodiversity. It classifies organisms including all plants and micro organisms of the world. It was developed by the Swedish botanist Carolus Linnaeus in 1735, in his book 'Systema Naturae’. Linnaeus invented binomial nomenclature, the system of giving each type of organism a genus and species name. In this system, each species is assigned a two-part name; first part of the name of each animal represents genus and second word denotes species epithet. Anatomy is the branch of science concerned with the bodily structure of humans and animals. Limnology is the study of inland aquatic ecosystems.
