Question

If two organisms belong to the same order, they would also belong to the same

• A. Phylum
• B. Family
• C. Class
• D. All of these

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (C)

Class

The taxonomic hierarchy in descending order is Kingdom, Phylum or Division, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species. Thus, organisms belonging to the same order would obviously belong to the same higher taxa, namely Kingdom, Phylum or Division, and Class. An Order is a group of similar families and hence, option B cannot be correct.
