1 Expert Answer Kingdom, Phylum, class, order, family, genus, species. Phylum is a broader category than family, therefore organisms would be more closely related if they were in the same family.
Are organisms more similar if they share the same order or the same class?
for example : if two organisms are in the same ORDER, they must be in the same class, phylum & kingdom. even though the cat & the housefly have the same species group name (domestica), they CAN’T BE the same species because they are not in the same genus, family, order, etc.
Moving from domain to species, the organisms are more closely related, such that organisms in the same species have a greater degree of kinship than organisms that are similar only at their family level.
Which group of organisms are the members more closely associated?
Genus. The genus (plural, genera) is the taxonomic rank between family and species. The groups of organisms in a genus share many structural similarities and are very closely related. Members of a genus are more closely related to each other than they are to other genera in the same family.
The taxonomic rank of species has the most number of physical similarities and this group of individuals can mate and produce fertile offsprings. In this case, organisms in the same order are more closely related than the members of the same kingdom.
Which have more in common two organisms in the same class or same family?
As the family rank is two levels above the class rank, we find that animals of the same family will have more characteristics in common than the ones in the same class!
Can two organisms belong to the same family but different classes?
No, that information cannot be correct. A family is a subgroup of one order, and an order is a subgroup of one class. Therefore, any two organisms that belong to the same family must also belong to the same class.
Which organism is the least closely related to the others?
hagfish
This means that the hagfish is the least related to the other organisms.
Would two animals in the same family be more or less related than two animals in the same genus Why?
For example, organisms placed in the same genus are always more closely related than those in different genera in the same family, and organisms in the same family are more closely related than those in different orders. Ranking within more inclusive taxa reflects degree of common ancestry.
