What is a group of related genera with similar characteristics called?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Family

Correct answer: B, Family. Taxonomic categories are arranged from smaller and more specific groups to larger and broader groups. A species is a basic unit; closely related species are placed in one genus. Several related genera are then grouped into a family because they share important characteristics. For example, Solanum and Datura are different genera, but both are included in the family Solanaceae. A, species, is below genus and cannot contain several genera. B is correct because family is the rank immediately above genus. C, order, contains related families, so it is a higher and broader rank. D, class, contains related orders and is still higher. Memory cue: species make a genus, genera make a family.
