Which level of taxonomic classification will have the the most types of
organisms included within it (i.e. the collective largest)?
Phylum
Domain
Kingdom
Order
Genus
Place these levels of classification in order from least inclusive to most inclusive: class, domain, family, genus, kingdom, order, phylum, species.
When classifying organisms, all of these qualities are important, but which one can most accurately tell us how closely related two species are?
geographical range
DNA analysis
physical appearance
internal organs

It refers to the relationship between ancestors and descendants and relationships among descendant taxa. It shows the lineage of taxa which can be summarized in a branching diagram called a phylogenetic tree.1.

- in our system of classification, organism R and X are placed in the same group. Organism B is placed in a different group. This tells you: R and X are less closely related to each other than to B B and R are more closely related to each other than to X X and B are more closely related to each other than to R R and X are more closely related to each other than to B none of these organisms are relatedarrow_forwardA monophyletic taxon (group) contains an ancestor and all of its descendants.
