The major divisions of Plantae and the basis for these divisions are as follows: • Thallophyta: Simple body design; with no differentiation into root, stem and leaves. • Bryophyta: Body is differentiated into stem and leaf-like structures. Vascular system is absent. • Pteridophyta: Body is differentRead more

Reproductive organs are inconspicuous. Seeds are not produced.
• Gymnosperms: Seeds are naked.
• Angiosperms: Seeds are covered.
Following points explain the basis of grouping organisms into five kingdoms. Organization of nucleus: Organisms with unorganized nucleus are kept under the kingdom Monera. Those with organized nucleus are kept in other kingdoms. Number of cells: Unicellular eukaryotes are kept in the kingdom ProtistRead more
Following points explain the basis of grouping organisms into five kingdoms. Organization of
nucleus: Organisms with unorganized nucleus are kept under the kingdom Monera. Those with organized nucleus are kept in other kingdoms.
Number of cells:
Unicellular eukaryotes are kept in the kingdom Protista, while multicellular eukaryotes are kept in other kingdoms.
Mode of nutrition and presence of cell wall:
Hetereotrophic organisms in which cell wall is present are taken under the kingdom fungi.
Autotrophic organisms in which cell wall is present are taken in the kingdom Plantae. Organisms in which cell wall is absent are taken in the kingdom Animalia.
We need to look at the fact if given character is present in a small number of organisms or a larger number of organisms. In the first case, the commonality of characters would represent a species. In the latter case, the commonality of characters would represent a higher taxa; like genus, family, oRead more

There are millions of species on this earth. For anybody, it is impossible to study about each of them in his lifetime. Classification makes it easy to study the organisms; on the basis of certain common characters. For more answers visit to website: https://www.tiwariacademy.com/ncert-solutions/claRead more

• In aves, body is covered with feathers; while in mammals, body is covered with hairs. • Mammary glands are absent in aves while present in mammals. • Forelimbs of aves are modified into wings which is not the case in mammals. • Aves are oviparous, while most of the mammals are viviparous.
