(E) Angiospermae
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
(A) Poales
(B) Monocotyledonae
(C) Triticum
(D) Poaceae
(E) Angiospermae
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Options
- A(C), (D), (A), (B), (E)
- B(E), (B), (D), (A), (C)
- C(B), (E), (A), (D), (C)
- D(E), (B), (A), (D), (C)
Correct answer
D. (E), (B), (A), (D), (C)
Step-by-step solution
According to the taxonomic classification of wheat (NCERT Table 1.1), the categories from highest to lowest rank are:
Division : Angiospermae (E)
Class : Monocotyledonae (B)
Order : Poales (A)
Family : Poaceae (D)
Genus : Triticum (C)
Descending order means arranging them from the highest taxonomic rank to the lowest.
Therefore, the correct sequence is Division Class Order Family Genus.
Matching this with the given labels gives the sequence: (E), (B), (A), (D), (C).
Option 1 is incorrect as it represents the ascending order.
Option 2 is incorrect because it swaps the ranks of Order and Family.
Option 3 is incorrect because it places Class above Division.
Answer: (E), (B), (A), (D), (C)
Division : Angiospermae (E)
Class : Monocotyledonae (B)
Order : Poales (A)
Family : Poaceae (D)
Genus : Triticum (C)
Descending order means arranging them from the highest taxonomic rank to the lowest.
Therefore, the correct sequence is Division Class Order Family Genus.
Matching this with the given labels gives the sequence: (E), (B), (A), (D), (C).
Option 1 is incorrect as it represents the ascending order.
Option 2 is incorrect because it swaps the ranks of Order and Family.
Option 3 is incorrect because it places Class above Division.
Answer: (E), (B), (A), (D), (C)
