Question 2.
Type Concept Explain also its types
Answer:
ICN’s second principle is that a specimen must be associated with a scientific name known as nomenclatural type (specimen, or its illustration)
Eg. Herbarium sheet: –
There are 7 types
- Holotype:
The original Protologue of the author is a definite source of identity
Citation & submission of it is one of the criteria for valid publication of a botanical name - Isotype: Duplicate of Holotypes
- Same person on the same date with same field number
- Reliable duplicates of holotype – to be distributed to various herbaria of various region
- Lectotype: Specimen selected from original material may serve as Lectotype when holotype is missing or destroyed
- Syntype: When the author cites more than one specimen in his Protologue without designating Holotype.
- Neotype: Specimen from the non-original collection when original
- Paratype: holotype missing or destroyed: specimen other than Holo, Iso, or Syntype
- Epitope: Specimen or illustration serves as an interpretive type when all the above types are ambiguous.

2. Aims of Biosystematics: The aims of biosystematics are as follows:
- To delimit the naturally occurring biotic community of plant species.
- To establish the evolution of a group of taxa by understanding the evolutionary and phylogenetic trends.

- A scanner like the UPC of supermarket things, – DNA barcoding is a taxonomical device to distinguish one species from another.
- A very short genetic sequence from a standard part of a genome is used as a DNA tag or barcode to identify a plant
- Paul Hebert proposed it and so-known as the Father of barcoding.
Question 13.
Significance of DNA barcoding.
Answer:
- Helps in the identification and classification organism
- Aids in the mapping the extend of bio-diversity
- Eventhough it require a large data base of sequences for comparison & prior knowledge of the barcoding region, it is helpful tool to determine the authenticity of botanical material in whole, cut or powdered form.
