Which one of the following is not a correct statement?

  1. A museum has collection of photographs of plants and animals.
  2. Key is taxonomic aid for identification of specimens.
  3. Herbarium houses dried, pressed and preserved plant specimens.
  4. Botanical gardens have collection of living plants for reference.

Answer

(1) A museum has collection of photographs of plants and animals.

Solution

As per NCERT, biological museums have collections of preserved plant and animal specimens (in jars/containers in preservative solutions, dry specimens, insect boxes, stuffed animals, skeletons) for study and reference — not photographs.

∴ Statement (1) is not correct.

∵ A key is a taxonomic aid for identification, a herbarium stores dried, pressed and preserved plant specimens on sheets, and botanical gardens keep living plants for reference, statements (2), (3) and (4) are correct.

Answer: (1)
