Select the incorrect statement.

D VINOD · Accepted Answer

## CORE INFORMATION
✓ **Answer**: D
## CONCEPT FRAMEWORK
	**Primary Concept**: Biological classification, conservation
	**Related Topics**: Taxonomy, biodiversity, ex situ vs in situ conservation
	**Prerequisites**: Basic understanding of biological concepts, classification, and conservation methods.
## SOLUTION PATHWAY
**Given Information**:
	The question presents four statements related to biology and asks to identify the incorrect one.

**Method & Steps**:
	1.	Evaluate statement A: In unicellular organisms, cell division leads to both growth (increase in number of cells) and reproduction (new offspring). Thus, growth and reproduction are synonymous. The statement is correct.
		Reasoning: Unicellular organisms reproduce by cell division which also leads to an increase in the population, meaning growth.
	2.	Evaluate statement B: Binomial nomenclature uses two words, the genus and species. The statement is correct.
		Reasoning: This is a fundamental principle in biological naming.
	3.	Evaluate statement C: A herbarium is a collection of dried, pressed and preserved plant specimens. The statement is correct.
		Reasoning: This is the standard definition of a herbarium.
	4.	Evaluate statement D: In situ conservation means conservation of species in their natural habitats. Botanical gardens are ex situ conservation strategies where plants are conserved outside their natural habitats. The statement is incorrect.
		Reasoning: Botanical gardens involve cultivation of plants in a controlled environment, not their natural habitats.

## OPTION ANALYSIS
[A] :x: Statement is correct.
[B] :x: Statement is correct.
[C] :x: Statement is correct.
[D] ✓: Statement is incorrect. Botanical gardens are ex situ conservation strategies.
## LEARNING AIDS
	**Common Mistakes**:
		1.[Error 1]: Confusing in situ and ex situ conservation. [How to avoid]: Remember that in situ means 'on site' or in the natural habitat.
		2.[Error 2]: Not knowing the definition of a herbarium. [How to avoid]: Learn the definition and purpose of herbaria.
	**Quick Tips**:
		1.[Helpful shortcut]: Remember that 'in situ' means 'in place' or in the natural habitat.
		2.[Memory aid]: Ex situ conservation involves 'exiting' the natural habitat, while in situ involves staying 'in' the natural habitat.
