Answer 2

Genus represents group of closely related species of plants or

animals.

* Genus is a taxonomic classification that is located just below family and just above species in the hierarchy.

The complete hierarchical order is:

Domain---Kingdom---Phylum---Class---Order---Family---Genus---Species

* While writing the scientific name of an organism or plant, we write the genus first followed by the species. It is written in italics.

For example: Homo sapiens ( humans).

* They can be represented as closely related species.
