In the hierarchy of taxonomic categories, Family is located between which two categories?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Genus and Order

Direct answer: A, genus and order. In the usual taxonomic hierarchy, the sequence from lower to higher rank is species, genus, family, order, class, phylum and kingdom. Therefore family comes immediately after genus and immediately before order. A is correct. B is wrong because species and genus are the two ranks below family, with genus directly below it; family is not between both of them as adjacent ranks. C is wrong because order and class are above family, and family is not between those two. D is wrong because class and phylum are still higher ranks. A useful way to solve the question is to write the sequence first and locate family rather than relying on vague memory. Memory cue: “Genus forms Family; Family forms Order,” so family lies between them.
