Q. Scientific study of diversity of organisms and their evolutionary relationships is

J & K CETJ & K CET 2011The Living World

Solution:

The discipline of biology which deals with the kind and diversity of all organisms and the existing relationship amongst them is called systematics. The word systematics is derived from Latin word systematics which means systematic arrangement of organisms. It was first used by Carolus Linnaeus. He used Systema Naturae as the title of his publication. The scope of systematics was later enlarged to include identification, nomenclature and classification. Systematics takes into account evolutionary relationships between organisms.
