Question:
Choose the incorrect statement among the following:
I. The present era is called “Golden era of Biology”.
II. Sexual system of classification was proposed by Theophrastus.
III. Study of Amphibians of plant kingdom are called Bryology.
IV. Recycling of nutrients takes place by parasitic petrophants.

I. The present era is called “Golden era of Biology”.
II. Sexual system of classification was proposed by Theophrastus.
III. Study of Amphibians of plant kingdom are called Bryology.
IV. Recycling of nutrients takes place by parasitic petrophants.
Show Hint
Bryology is the study of bryophytes, often called plant amphibians due to their dependence on water for reproduction. Nutrient recycling is mainly done by decomposers, not parasitic plants.

Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
Let’s evaluate each statement to identify the incorrect ones:
| Statement | Evaluation | Correctness |
|---|---|---|
| I | The present era is called “Golden era of Biology” due to advancements in genetics and biotechnology. | ✅ Correct |
| II | Sexual system of classification was proposed by Theophrastus. This is incorrect; it was proposed by Carl Linnaeus. Theophrastus focused on early plant descriptions. | ❌ Incorrect |
| III | Study of Amphibians of plant kingdom (bryophytes) is called Bryology, as they need water for reproduction. | ✅ Correct |
| IV | Recycling of nutrients takes place by parasitic petrophants. This is incorrect; “petrophants” isn’t a real term. Decomposers like fungi recycle nutrients, not parasitic plants. | ❌ Incorrect |
Conclusion: Statements II and IV are incorrect.
Correct Answer: (4) II, IV
