    • Horticulture

    • Gardening

    Correct Answer
    A. Horticulture
    Explanation
    Horticulture deals with living things, specifically plants, and involves the cultivation, propagation, and management of plants for food, medicinal purposes, and aesthetic appeal. The field of horticulture encompasses a wide range of disciplines such as plant breeding, plant physiology, and soil science. Due to the complex nature of living organisms, horticulture can be unpredictable and variable, as factors such as weather conditions, pests, and diseases can greatly impact plant growth and development. Gardening, on the other hand, is a subset of horticulture that focuses on the cultivation and care of plants in a domestic or ornamental setting.

    In the common system, plants are classified by dividing them into groups that have similar characteristics.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Plants are not classified in the common system by dividing them into groups that have similar characteristics. Instead, plants are classified based on their evolutionary relationships and shared characteristics, such as their reproductive structures and genetic makeup. This system of classification is known as the phylogenetic system, which focuses on the evolutionary history and relationships among different plant species. Therefore, the statement that plants are classified by dividing them into groups with similar characteristics is false.
