Combining different Orders with similar characters forms which higher taxonomic category?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Class

Correct answer: A, Class. Taxonomic categories are arranged from lower to higher as species, genus, family, order, class, phylum or division, and kingdom. A genus contains related species; related genera form a family; related families form an order; and related orders form a class. Therefore, when different orders have important characters in common, they are grouped into one class. For example, Primates and Carnivora are different orders, but both are placed in the class Mammalia because they share broad mammalian features. B is wrong because a family is below an order. C is wrong because a genus is below a family. D is wrong because a phylum is above a class and includes several classes. Memory cue: “orders combine to make a class.”
