Answer:
As a consequence, if two species share the same species epithet then it tells you nothing about how closely related they are. If they share the same genus name, then they belong to the same genus (except exceptions probably!). For the above examples, the term glabra comes from "glaber" (latin) which means "Hairless".

Answer
Organisms placed under the same genus are most closely related to each other.
Explanation
- The taxonomic ranking between Genus and species is different.
- Genus is defined as a group of similar species that has more characters when compared to species of other genera.
- Genus ranks below the family and above the species.
- A similar characteristic organism that comes under the genus classification is called species.
Hence, Organisms under the same genus are more closely related to each other than organisms under same species.
