Question

Which of the following are disadvantages of the Aristotelian classification system? I. The system contained too many groups to be useful. II. The system did not show relatedness of organisms. III. Organisms were grouped by habitat, not structrual similarity. IV. It was an expensive and highly technical process.

Answer 1

The correct answer is option 2 and 3.

Explanation:

The Aristotelian classification system was one of the initial classification systems. In this classification, he grouped so many unrelated organisms the same groups, due to matching habitats but not structural.

Many related organisms are placed in different groups because of their distinct form and habitats. The relatedness of organisms was not exhibited by this classification system.

Thus, the correct answer is option 2 and 3
