In the taxonomic hierarchy, which taxon includes several closely related genera?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Family

Direct answer: C, family. Taxonomic ranks are arranged from narrower to broader as species, genus, family, order, class, phylum and kingdom. A family is a group containing one or more closely related genera. For example, Solanum and Datura are different genera placed in the family Solanaceae. A is wrong because a species is a group of similar organisms and is below genus. B is wrong because a genus contains one or more closely related species, not several genera. C is correct because it is the rank immediately above genus and collects related genera. D is wrong because an order is a broader rank that contains several related families. The hierarchy should be read carefully: species → genus → family → order. Memory cue: many species make a genus, many related genera make a family, and many families make an order.
