Answer 1

QUESTION:

State the merits of Whittaker's method  of classification.​

ANSWER:

Whittaker's method of classification is more scientific and natural because of the following merits:

1) It is the most accepted modern classification system due to the phylogenetic placing of different living organisms.

2)In this system separation of prokaryotes into an independent kingdom is justifiable.

3)The unicellular eukaryotes grouping of this system under the kingdom Protista has solved many problems.

4)It gives a clear indication of cellular organization and modes of nutrition.

These are few merits of Whittaker's method of classification.
