Which of the following is an example of a 'Family' formed by combining different genera with similar characters?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Solanaceae

The correct answer is A, Solanaceae. A family is a taxonomic rank that contains one or more related genera having important characters in common. Solanaceae is a family of flowering plants; examples of genera placed in it include Solanum, Petunia and Datura. Option B, Solanum, is a genus, not a family; it includes several related species. Option C, Polemoniales, is an older order name or classification term, so it does not represent the required family in this question. Option D, Mammalia, is a class of animals, not a plant family. The hierarchy helps here: related species form a genus, related genera form a family, and related families form an order. Thus the word ending in “-aceae” is a useful plant-family clue, although the rank must still be learned from context. Therefore Solanaceae is the only unambiguous choice.
