The correct Answer is:
To determine which statement is not correct, we will analyze each of the provided options one by one. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Option 1: "Herbarium houses dried, pressed, and preserved plant specimens."** - This statement is correct. A herbarium is indeed a collection of plant specimens that have been dried, pressed, and preserved for scientific study. 2. **Option 2: "Botanical gardens have living specimens."** - This statement is also correct. Botanical gardens are designed to cultivate and display living plants for education and research purposes. 3. **Option 3: "A museum has a collection of photographs of plant and animal."** - This statement is **not correct**. Museums typically house collections of actual specimens (such as preserved animals, plants, fossils, etc.) rather than just photographs. While some museums may include photographs, the primary function of a museum is to display physical specimens. 4. **Option 4: "A key is a taxonomical aid for identification of a specimen."** - This statement is correct. A taxonomical key is used to identify organisms based on their characteristics, often involving a series of choices that lead to the identification of a specimen. ### Conclusion: The statement that is not correct is **Option 3: "A museum has a collection of photographs of plant and animal."** ---
