(ii) Museums have collections of preserved plant and animal specimens

(vi) Museums often have collections of skeletons of animals
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsD
Statement (iii) is incorrect because specimens are preserved in jars or containers using preservative solutions (such as formalin). The statement in the query claims they are not preserved this way, which is false.
Statement (vi) is often listed as incorrect in specific multiple-choice contexts if the phrasing implies exclusivity or if compared against strict textbook definitions, but scientifically, museums do have skeleton collections. However, in the context of many standardized biology assessments (like NEET/NCERT-based questions), statement (iii) is the primary false claim. If the options force a combination, is the typically sought answer where statement (iii) is the definitive error.
