Write these in order, from the smallest group to the largest: order, species, kingdom, family, class, genus, phylum. What do we call a group of closely related genera?
Need a reminder? The key ideaShow
The levels, from the largest: kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, species. A scientific name has two parts: the genus, with a capital letter, and the species, with a small letter, in italics.
The worked solution
Have you tried it?
Work it out on paper first. It is fine to get stuck or make a mistake: that is how we learn. When you are ready, go through the solution one step at a time, and check each step against your own.
Step 1. Smallest first. Species, genus, family, order, class, phylum, kingdom.
Step 2. Related genera. A group of closely related genera is a family.
Answer: species, genus, family, order, class, phylum, kingdom; a family.
