Biological Classification: NEET questions with solutions
This chapter tests the five-kingdom system and what each kingdom contains, the bacteria and their groups, protistan types, fungal classes with their spores, and acellular agents such as viruses, viroids, prions and lichens. Marks are lost on misplaced organisms (cyanobacteria, yeast, Euglena), on exogenous versus endogenous spores and on look-alike disease or structure pairings.
