No they cannot. In biological classification, the family comes after the class. Basically that means that the family is more specific than the class so two animals that are in the same family may not necessarily be in the same class.

No, organisms in the same phylum are not necessarily classified in the same family. Phylum is a higher taxonomic rank compared to family, which represents a more specific level of classification. Organisms within a phylum can belong to different families based on their shared characteristics and evolutionary relationships.

No. For instance, cats and dogs both belong to the phylum Chordata but cats belong to the family Felidae and dogs belong to the family Canidae. Family is more specific than phylum.

Two organisms in the same class but different orders?

An example of two organisms in the same class but different orders is a lion (order: Carnivora) and a horse (order: Perissodactyla). Both belong to the class Mammalia, but they are classified under different orders based on their biological characteristics and evolutionary history.


Two species belonging to the same class must also belong to the same?

Phylum. Organisms in the same class belong to the same phylum, which is a higher taxonomic rank that groups organisms based on shared characteristics.


Are organisms in the same family less closely related than organisms in the same order?

Yes. "Family" is a more precise designation than "order." The levels, from most general to most specific, are Kingdom -- Phylum -- Class -- Order -- Family -- Genus -- species.


What is the classification levels two organisms share the more they are similar?

No. If they do not belong to the same class, they can't be in the same order or family. The classification goes: Kingdom Phylum Class Order Family Genus Species
