Which one of the following is not a correct statement?

1. Botanical gardens have collection of living plants for reference.
2. A museum has collection of photographs of plants and animals.
3. Key is taxonomic aid for identification of specimens.
4. Herbarium houses dried, pressed and preserved plant specimens.

Correct answer: A museum has collection of photographs of plants and animals.

Solution

A museum in taxonomy typically preserves preserved specimens, models, fossils, or other reference materials, not just photographs. The statement about photographs is therefore the incorrect one, while the other options correctly describe botanical gardens, keys, and herbaria.
