The correct Answer is:
To solve the question about the five kingdom classification given by Whittaker, we will analyze each statement provided and determine which one is correct. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Whittaker's Five Kingdoms**: - Whittaker proposed a five kingdom classification system which includes: 1. Monera (prokaryotic organisms) 2. Protista (unicellular eukaryotic organisms) 3. Fungi (multicellular eukaryotic organisms) 4. Plantae (multicellular eukaryotic organisms) 5. Animalia (multicellular eukaryotic organisms) 2. **Analyzing the Statements**: - **Statement 1**: "Most of the kingdoms have organisms with poorly defined nucleus." - This statement is incorrect because Monera (the only prokaryotic kingdom) has organisms with a poorly defined nucleus, while all other kingdoms (Protista, Fungi, Plantae, Animalia) have well-defined nuclei. - **Statement 2**: "Most of the kingdoms have organisms with a cell wall." - This statement is correct. Monera, Fungi, and Plantae have organisms that possess a cell wall. Protista may or may not have a cell wall, and Animalia does not have a cell wall. - **Statement 3**: "Most of the kingdoms have organisms with only one set of chromosomes." - This statement is incorrect. Most eukaryotic organisms (in Protista, Fungi, Plantae, and Animalia) have multiple sets of chromosomes (diploid or polyploid). - **Statement 4**: "Most of the kingdoms have organisms with RNA as the genetic material." - This statement is incorrect. The genetic material for the majority of organisms in these kingdoms is DNA, not RNA. 3. **Conclusion**: - After analyzing all the statements, the only correct statement is that "most of the kingdoms have organisms with a cell wall." Hence, the correct answer is the second statement. ### Final Answer: The correct statement about the five kingdoms given by Whittaker is: "Most of the kingdoms have organisms with a cell wall." ---
