Question

Aves’ taxonomically represent a

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

Answer 1

The correct option is C

Class

The correct option is C.

Explanation of the correct option

All flying chordates with a four-chambered heart and feathers on their bodies are classified as belonging to the taxonomic class of birds, or Aves.

Class: -

It is both a taxonomic rank and a taxon, a taxonomic item, in that rank. Life, domain, kingdom, phylum, order, family, genus, and species are other well-known levels in descending order of size, with class lying between phylum and order.

Explanation of the incorrect options: -

Option A: -

1. The kingdom is a taxonomic level made up of phyla, which are more compact groups (or divisions, in plants).
2. The greatest taxonomic rank, or the broadest taxon used to categorize species, historically has been a kingdom.

Option B: -

1. Phylum is a taxonomic classification that follows domain and kingdom in the hierarchy of categorization. A phylum's members all share a set of traits that mark them apart from members of other phyla.
2. As more accurate ways of figuring out how different animal groupings are connected have emerged throughout scientific history, the characteristics that classify creatures into phyla have changed.

Option D: -

1. It is one of the eight principal taxonomic hierarchies according to Linnaean taxonomy.
2. It falls within the orders and genus categories. Subfamilies, which are intermediary ranks between the ranks of family and genus, can be used to divide a family into subfamilies.

Final Answer: - Aves taxonomically represents a Class.
