Can two organisms that are alike have the same scientific name?
Every recognized species on earth (at least in theory) is given a two-part scientific name. These naming rules mean that every scientific name is unique. For example, if bluegill sunfish are given the scientific name Lepomis macrochirus, no other animal species can be given the same name.
Are organisms in the same order in the same class?
4) in order for two organisms to be in the same “small” group, they must also be in all the same “big” groups above it. for example : if two organisms are in the same ORDER, they must be in the same class, phylum & kingdom….
| GROUP NAME | ORDER |

Which animals are the same species?
A species consists of all the animals of the same type, who are able to breed and produce young of the same kind. For example, while any two great white sharks are in the same species, as are any two makos, great whites and makos are in different species (since they can’t interbreed).
Which of the following animals belong to the same class?
Cuttlefish, silverfish, jellyfish, dogfish and starfish. Monkey, man and chimpanzee belong to the same taxonomic group (order).
Which two organisms must be in the same order?
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.
Why do organisms look similar?
Reason: Organisms looks similar The fundamental process of reproduction is DNA replication. We get a cell with new DNA. As per the DNA codes, the proteins are made in the new cell. Consequently, the cell evolves as a new individual which looks similar to the original cell.
How many species of monkeys are there in the world?
1 Family Callitrichidae: marmosets and tamarins (42 species) 2 Family Cebidae: capuchins and squirrel monkeys (14 species) 3 Family Aotidae: night monkeys (11 species) 4 Family Pitheciidae: titis, sakis, and uakaris (41 species) 5 Family Atelidae: howler, spider, and woolly monkeys (24 species)
Is the horse and the donkey the same species?
No, Horses and donkeys are two different species but belong to the same family Equidae and the genus Equus.
What kind of relationship do monkeys have with humans?
Relationship with humans. The many species of monkey have varied relationships with humans. Some are kept as pets, others used as model organisms in laboratories or in space missions. They may be killed in monkey drives (when they threaten agriculture) or used as service animals for the disabled.
Is the New World monkey a monophyletic group?
Scientific classifications are now more often based on monophyletic groups, that is groups consisting of all the descendants of a common ancestor. The New World monkeys and the Old World monkeys are each monophyletic groups, but their combination was not, since it excluded hominoids (apes and humans).
