No, genus and order are different taxonomic ranks. Genus refers to a grouping of closely related species, while order is a higher taxonomic rank that includes multiple families of organisms. In the case of whales, the order is Cetacea, which includes multiple genera like Orcinus (killer whale) and Balaenoptera (blue whale).
