Define and Understand the following terms:


¡]Phylum

¡¡]Class

¡¡¡]Family

¡V]Order

V]Genus

Answer 1

Phylum a phylum is a level of classification or taxonomic rank below Kingdom and above Class. Traditionally, in botany the term division has been used instead of phylum, although the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants accepts the terms as equivalent.

Class class (Latin: classis) is a taxonomic rank, as well as a taxonomic unit, a taxon, in that rank. Other well-known ranks in descending order of size are life, domain, kingdom, phylum, order, family, genus, and species, with class fitting between phylum and order.

family (Latin: familia, plural familiae) is one of the eight major taxonomic ranks; it is classified between order and genus. A family may be divided into subfamilies, which are intermediate ranks above the rank of genus.

the order is. a taxonomic rank used in the classification of organisms and recognized by the nomenclature codes. Other well-known ranks are life, domain, kingdom, phylum, class, family, genus, and species, with order fitting in between class and family.

A taxonomic category ranking used in biological classification that is below a family and above a species level, and includes group(s) of species that are structurally similar or phylogenetically related.

Answer 2

1. a group into which animal plant etc. are divided smaller than kingdom and larger then the class.
2. this category includes related orders .
3.family has a group of related genera with still less number of similarities composed to genus abd species.
4.order being a higher category is the assemblage of families which exhibits a few similar character.
5.genus comprises a group of related species which has more character in common in comparison to species of other genera.
