Question

Regarding the assertion and reason; choose the correct option.
Assertion [A]: The various grades of taxa are interlinked.
Reason [R]: The relations and similarities increase in the descending order (with regard to the size of the taxon).

Options:

A . Assertion [A] is True and Reason [R] is False.

B . Reason [R] is True and Assertion [A] is False.

C . Assertion [A] is True and Reason [R] is True and is a correct explanation for [A].

D . Assertion [A] is True and Reason [R] is True but is an incorrect explanation to [A].

Answer: Option C
:
C
Taxa are arranged in ahierarchical manner from a small group of very closely related organisms to a broader group with more dissimilarities. As we go in the ascending order the number of common characteristics decreases and the grade increases and vice-versa, that is in the descending order, the number of common characteristics increases and the grade decreases. For example, any genus (lower grade of classification) has members with more similarities as compared to a family (ahigher grade of classification) which has members with fewer similarities among them.
