Mention two features of taxonomic hierarchy???
Answers
Answer:
Each level or rank has a different designation and these ranks form a hierarchical arrangement. ADVERTISEMENTS: For example, organisms having the highest similarity are placed in one taxonomic unit, called a species. A group of several species is then assembled into the next higher unit, called a genus
★Taxonomic Hierarchy is the arrangement of different levels of organisms on the basis of their gross morphological characteristics, similarities and differences .
★Each level is called a taxa or taxon
•The Hierarchy is as follows:
Kingdom
↓
Phylum(In animals) and Division (In case of plants)
↓
Class
↓
Order
↓
Family
↓
Genus
↓
Species
