Question

Which of the following is less general in characters as compared to genus?

• A. Species
• B. Family
• C. Class
• D. Division

Answer 1

The correct option is A Species

• The correct hierarchy of classification of various taxons in descending order is given by :
  

Kingdom → Phylum → Class → Order → Family → Genus → Species

• The kingdom is the highest taxon with the least similar characters shared between its various members while species is the lowest level with almost similar morphological and behavioral similarities. Species is followed by Genus with slightly fewer similarities among its members.

So, the correct answer is 'Species'
