Question

Arrange the hierarchy of classification in the descending order.

• A. Class
• B. Family
• C. Kingdom
• D. Phylum
• E. Order

Answer 1

The correct descending sequence of taxonomic categories (also known as the taxonomic hierarchy) is kingdom, phylum or division, class, order, family, genus, and species. The higher ranks give a more general description. Description of life forms becomes more specific as we descend down the hierarchy.
