Question

Which kingdoms are included in both Linnaean and Whittaker systems of classification?
A.) fungi, plant, and animal kingdoms

B.) protists, fungi, plant, and animal kingdoms

C.) plant and animal kingdoms

anonymous · Answer

Carl Linnaeus taxonomy has 3 kingdoms: Animal, Vegetable (plants) and Minerals
Robert Whittaker taxonomy has 5 kingdoms: Plants, Fungi, Animals, protista and monera (prokaryotes)

Since the linnaean system does not contain fungi, you can cancel answer A and B.
So C is the correct answer.
