Which classification group has the most characteristics in common?
Organisms within a family have more in common than with organisms in any classification level above it. Because they share so much in common, organisms of a family are said to be related to each other.
What are the characteristics of a classification system?
The classification systems should have the following characteristics:
- Single, universally accepted name for each organism: Multiple names of the same organism may cause confusion among researchers.
- Placement of organisms into biologically similar groups: There has to be a reason why organisms would be grouped together.
What are similar orders grouped into?
A class is a group of similar orders. A phylum is a group of similar classes.
Biology chapter 17 terms
| A | B |
|---|---|
| genus | taxonomic group of closely related species with a common ancestor |
| family | taxonomic group of similar, related genera that is smaller than a genus and larger than an order |
| order | taxonomic group that contains related families |
| class | taxonomic group that contains one or more related orders |
Which organisms have similar characteristics until the order category?
Explanation: The organisms of dog, cat, lion, and wolf all belong to the same category up to the next level. The humans, chimpanzees, gorillas are ancestors form a family of organisms is called as Hominidae.
Which organism would share more characteristics in common those in the same class or the 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!
Which organisms have similar characteristics up to the order category?
Explanation: The organisms of dog, cat, lion, and wolf all belong to the same category up to the next level. The humans, chimpanzees, gorillas are ancestors form a family of organisms is called as Hominidae. They are closely related to chimpanzees from the comparison of anatomy and genetics.
What is true about using similarities to classify different species?
What is true about similarities to classify different species? Species are not compared for the purpose of classification.
Is a group of closely related classes?
A group of related genera make up a Family. Related families make up an Order. Related orders are grouped into a Class. Related classes are grouped into a Phylum or Division.
In biology, a species complex is a group of closely related organisms that are so similar in appearance that the boundaries between them are often unclear. As informal taxonomic ranks, species group, species aggregate, macrospecies, and superspecies are also in use.
A group of closely related classes is called Family.
Which of the following is a group of organisms with similar characteristics?
species, in biology, classification comprising related organisms that share common characteristics and are capable of interbreeding.
