A group of related genera with similar characters is called?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Family

The correct answer is A: a family is a group of one or more related genera that share important characteristics. Taxonomic ranks are arranged from lower to higher as species, genus, family, order, class, phylum and kingdom. Therefore, when related genera are brought together, the next higher category is family. A is correct. B is wrong because an order is a larger category made up of related families, not merely genera. C is wrong because a class contains related orders. D is wrong because a phylum contains related classes and is still broader. For example, Solanum and Petunia are genera placed in the family Solanaceae. Memory cue: “Genus joins Family”; after genus comes family, then order.
