In the taxonomic hierarchy, what happens to differences among organisms as we move from species toward kingdom?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Differences and diversity increase

The correct answer is A. A species is a relatively narrow group whose members share many basic characteristics and are usually more similar to one another. Several related species form a genus; genera are grouped into families, families into orders, orders into classes, and so on up to kingdom. At each higher rank, the group becomes broader and includes organisms with fewer features in common. Therefore, overall differences and diversity increase as we move from species to kingdom, while the number of shared detailed characteristics decreases. Option B gives the reverse trend. Option C ignores the widening of each group. Option D describes no correct general pattern. Memory cue: “higher rank, wider group, greater diversity.”
