Vedclass · Answer

(B) $\rightarrow$ As we move higher in the taxonomic hierarchy from Species to Kingdom,the number of common characteristics shared by the organisms decreases.$\rightarrow$ The lower the taxon,the more characteristics the members within that group share.$\rightarrow$ Conversely,at higher categories,it becomes increasingly difficult to determine the evolutionary relationships between different taxa at the same level.$\rightarrow$ Therefore,the problem of classification becomes more complex as we move to higher taxonomic categories.

Column-$I$	Column-$II$
$P$. Chemotaxonomy	$I$. Uses computers to easily process data based on all observable characteristics.
$Q$. Cytotaxonomy	$II$. Based on evolutionary relationships.
$R$. Numerical taxonomy	$III$. Uses chemical constituents of plants.
$S$. Phylogenetic taxonomy	$IV$. Uses information like chromosome number, structure, and behavior.

Why does the problem of classification become more complex at higher taxonomic categories?
