Question

Which of the following statements are correct?

(a) Aristotle classified the organisms into 5 kingdoms

(b) Aristotle’s classification helped in classifying every organism

(c) It didn’t consider the cell structure of the organism

(d) It considered the method of reproduction of an organism

I have been asked this question during an interview for a job.

My doubt is from Classification of Organisms by Aristotle and Linnaeus in section Biological Classification of Biology – Class 11

Answer 1

Correct answer is (c) It didn’t consider the cell structure of the organism

The best explanation: Aristotle classified the organisms into two kingdoms namely, Plants and Animals. It didn’t classify organisms like bacteria, fungi and viruses. It didn’t consider the cell structure, method of reproduction and evolutionary relationships.
