Question

which organisms are most closely related? why do you say so?

Answer 1

The order of taxonomy (from most to least comprehensive) is: Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species.

Explanation:

• Many things can be classified under Kingdoms, but when you file in a species only a few are left.
• For example, dogs are in the same kingdom and cats, wolves and basically all other animals.
• However, as you enter the family, dogs are still in the same category as wolves, and as you move down to species, only different breeds of dogs remain.
• Organisms in the same family and different genus in the same kingdom and different phylum organisms in the same class and organisms of different order in the same phylum and different classes of organisms in the same genus but different different species.

Answer 2

Answer:

The order of taxonomy can help a person to determine that whether two organisms are closely related or not.

Explanation:

Taxonomy contains order from most to least broad that are:

Kingdom

Phylum

Class

Order

Family

Genus

Species

Above all of them Kingdom is most broad order and species is least broad order containing fewer organism which are more closely related based on their DNA similarities. The more similar the DNA, the more closely related the organisms.

For example: In order Hominidae the humans, chimpanzees, and gorillas have similar features and characteristics and because of so much similarity in their DNA they are expected to have originated from the common ancestor.
