Which of the following is the correct sequence of taxonomic hierarchy from lowest to highest? MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Which of the following is the correct sequence of taxonomic hierarchy from lowest to highest?
A. Species → Genus → Family → Order → Class → Phylum → Kingdom
B. Species → Family → Genus → Order → Class → Phylum → Kingdom
C. Genus → Species → Family → Order → Class → Phylum → Kingdom
D. Species → Genus → Order → Family → Class → Phylum → Kingdom
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
The correct taxonomic hierarchy in ascending order is: Species (lowest) → Genus → Family → Order → Class → Phylum (or Division in plants) → Kingdom (highest). Some classifications add Domain above Kingdom. This system groups organisms based on shared characteristics. Binomial nomenclature uses Genus and Species. Option A correctly places Family before Order.

Question #1
Which of the following is NOT a part of the endomembrane system?
A. Lysosomes
B. Endoplasmic reticulum
C. Mitochondria
D. Golgi apparatus

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
The endomembrane system includes ER, Golgi apparatus, lysosomes, vacuoles, and the nuclear envelope—organelles that coordinate membrane flow and protein processing. Mitochondria (and chloroplasts) are not part of this system because they are semi-autonomous, arising from endosymbiosis, and are not connected by vesicle trafficking. Peroxisomes are sometimes considered associated but not part of the ER-derived system.

A. All mutations are caused by radiation.
B. Silent mutations always change the protein sequence.
C. Mutations cannot be spontaneous.
D. Mutations can be inherited if they occur in germ cells.

Correct Answer: Option D
