Question

Which is not correct?

• A. According to ICN, the name of a taxonomic class should end in 'ales'
• B. According to ICN, every family should have a type genus
• C. Corymb is a type of inflorescence
• D. Perianth may be a part of flower in angiosperms

Hint:

Recall which suffix the Code assigns to class names versus order names.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Check each option against ICN naming rules one by one. Families need type genera - true. Corymb is a recognised inflorescence type - true. Perianth appears in many angiosperm flowers - true.

Class names take the suffix -opsida, while -ales belongs to orders, so the claim that classes end in 'ales' is wrong.

Final answer: A is not correct.
