Answer 1

Incorrect statement (1)

Systematics is the branch of Biology that deals with cataloguing plants, animals, and other organisms into categories that can be named, remembered, compared, and studied.

In reality, while systematics does involve the study and categorization of organisms, it goes beyond mere cataloging. Systematics is the scientific study of the diversity of life and the relationships among different organisms. It includes the development of phylogenetic trees and the understanding of evolutionary relationships between species. It is concerned with not only naming and categorizing organisms but also understanding their evolutionary history and the patterns of their descent.
