BIOLOGICAL CLASSIFICATION

From early period Many attempts had done to classify living organism. ARISTOTLE was the first who classified plants on the simple morphological character i.e. herb,  shrubs,  and  tree .  and animals as red blood and no blood.
         After Aristotle , CAROLUS LINNAEUS classified living inti two categoriesi.e. Plantae  and Animalia. this classification continued till very recent time, but the classification did not distinguish between prokaryotes( false nucleus) and eukaryotes(true nucleus), unicellular and multicellular, autotrophic and heterotrophic.
        Hence it was found inadequate system, and a new system was needed.
       THE RECENT AND MOST ACCEPTED CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM IS FIVE KINGDOM CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM BY R.H.WHITTAKER.
