Question

Explain the scope and significance of Numerical taxonomy ??​

Answer 1

Answer:

${\tt{\ \: {\underline{\underline{\huge{Answer:}}}}}}$

• ☘Numerical taxonomy is a classification system in biological systematics which deals with the grouping by numerical methods of taxonomic units based on their character states. It aims to create a taxonomy using numeric algorithms like cluster analysis rather than using subjective evaluation of their properties.

• ☘Numerical taxonomy is defined as the numerical evaluation of the similarity between groups of organisms and the ordering of these groups into higher ranking taxa on the basis of these similarities. It may be defined as the branch of taxonomy that uses mathematical methods to evaluate observable difference and similarities between taxonomic groups.
