Question

what r the 5 advantages nd disadvantage of 5 kingdom of classification?

Answer 1

Advantage (i) It explains the relationship among organisms with regard to levels of organization and mode of nutrition.(ii) It explains evolutionary trend indicating gradual evolution of complex organisms from simpler ones.(iii) Better placement of certain controversial groups like Cyanobacteria, fungi, Euglena etc.(iv) Separation of kingdom Fungi fromplants seems to be justified as fungi bear own type of structural, physiological as well as biochemical characters.Disadvantage (i) The position of virus is not clear.(ii) Kingdom Protista includes organisms having diverse form, structure and life cycle, hence does not seem to be proper grouping.(iii) Some organisms included under Protista (e.g. Dinoflagellates) are noteukaryotic rather mesokaryotic.(iv) Slime moulds placed under Protista differ considerably from the rest of protists.
