Question

Write about cytological techniques applied in modern taxonomy.

Answer 1

Modern taxonomists consider that the gross morphological characters are not always sufficient to provide means of differentiation in determining the genetically and evolutionary relationship between taxa. To achieve this the taxonomical evidences from anatomy, embryology, palynology, cytology, palaeobotany, ecology, biochemistry etc. are discussed.

Hope it will help you.....

Answer 2

Cytological techniques are methods used for cell investigation or manipulation.

These include methods for cultivating, tracking, phenotyping, sorting, and screening cells in populations or tissues in cell biology, and molecular methods for understanding cell function.

Modern taxonomists believe that the gross morphological characteristics are not always sufficient to distinguish between the genetic and evolutionary relationships of taxonomy.

To do so, taxonomic evidence is provided from anatomy, embryology, cytology, ecology, biochemistry, etc.
