Question

What does taxonomic hierarchy refer to?

• A. Step-wise arrangement and naming of the organisms
• B. Classification of a species based on fossil record
• C. Naming the organisms based on their morphology
• D. Sequential arrangement of all categories for classification of organisms

Answer 1

The correct option is D Sequential arrangement of all categories for classification of organisms

• Taxonomic hierarchy is the process of arranging various groups, classes, and other categories into successive levels of the biological classification in a sequence either from kingdom to species or vice versa.
• Each of these levels of the hierarchy is called the taxonomic category or rank.
• So the correct option is the 'sequential arrangement of all categories for the classification of organisms'.
