Question

question 7 of 10
which organisms would have the most similar traits?
a. organisms in the same kingdom
b. organisms in the same order
c. organisms in the same phylum
d. organisms in the same class

Explanation:

In biological classification, the hierarchy is Kingdom - Phylum - Class - Order - Family - Genus - Species. As we move down the hierarchy, the number of organisms decreases and the similarity in traits increases. Order is a more specific (lower - level) classification than Kingdom, Phylum, and Class. So, organisms in the same order have more similar traits compared to those in the same kingdom, phylum, or class.

Answer:

B. Organisms in the same order
