Question

1-class and order
2-kingdom and class
3-genus and species
4-phylum and family


Please provide me a reason for this.

Answer 1

Phylum and Family is not in Linnaean taxonomy.

the particular form of biological classification (taxonomy) set up by Carl Linnaeus, as set forth in his Systema Naturae(1735) and subsequent works. In the taxonomy of Linnaeus there are three kingdoms, divided into classes, and they, in turn, into orders, genera (singular: genus), and species (singular: species), with an additional rank lower than species.
