No, family and species are not the same. In the classification system, species is the most specific level and represents individual organisms that share similar traits and can interbreed. Family is a higher taxonomic rank that groups similar species together based on a common ancestor.

Are the species that are in same family more closely related than the species in same order?
Yes, species within the same family are more closely related to each other than species within the same order. Family is a taxonomic rank that is more specific and shows a closer genetic relationship between species, while order is a broader taxonomic rank that includes multiple families.
Do domestic cats and humans belong to the same family genus and species?

Are dogs and cats from the same species?
No, dogs and cats are not from the same species. Dogs belong to the species Canis lupus familiaris, while cats belong to the species Felis catus. They have different evolutionary histories and biological characteristics.
If two organisms belong to the same order must they belong to the same family?
No; if they belong to the same genus then they have to belong to the same family.

Order: Diptera Family: Muscidae Genus: Musca Species: domestica
Organisms that are similar in structure and form and successfully interbreed belong to the same family?
They will belong to either the same family or species.
Are foxes and wolves the same species?
No, but they both belong to the canid family.
Species that are in the same are more closely related than species that are only in the same?
Species that are in the same family are more closely related than species that are only in the same order. The biological classification of family falls between order and genus.
Can two species be members of same genus not of same family?
The classification of organisms from general to specific goes: Domain, Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species. Therefor, two species the same Genus MUST be members of the same Family. However, a Family may consist of several different Genus, so species in the same Family are not necessarily members of the same Genus.
Can two species be members of the same family but not the same genus?
No; if they belong to the same genus then they have to belong to the same family.
Can two species be members of the same genus but not the same family?
No; if they belong to the same genus then they have to belong to the same family.
Can two species be members of same family but not of the same genus?
No; if they belong to the same genus then they have to belong to the same family.
Are the species that are in same family more closely related than the species in same order?
Yes, species within the same family are more closely related to each other than species within the same order. Family is a taxonomic rank that is more specific and shows a closer genetic relationship between species, while order is a broader taxonomic rank that includes multiple families.
Are pugs and Boston terriers of the same family?
All dogs are in the same family, just not the same species name.
Organisms most likely to belong to the same species are?
The sun
Does a population have the same species?
Yes, they will always be the same species unless they evolution or something like that like the family of the Cats, tigers etc. They had always been the same.
Are two organisms that share the same order more or less closely related that species that share the same class?
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
