What designation is given in taxonomy to a group of different species with similar characters?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Genus

Correct answer: A, genus. Taxonomy groups organisms step by step according to shared characters. Closely related species are placed together in one genus. For example, Panthera includes species such as Panthera leo and Panthera pardus; their first word is the same because it is the genus name. Several related genera are combined to form a family, so family is a broader category than genus. Several families may form an order, and orders may form a class. Therefore B, C and D are wrong because they represent progressively higher ranks. The phrase “different species with similar characters” points specifically to a genus, not to a family or order. Memory cue: species combine into genus; genera combine into family.
