To tell if organisms are similar you need to use the genus, species name always changes. For example: wolves and domestic dogs. A wolf's scientific name is canis lupus. A dog's scientific name is canis familiaris. All animals in the dog family start with canis, then from there there species name, and then from there, there is the sub-species name.

What do you call a group of similar organisms?
taxonomic key!
What is a group of closely related species?
family
What is a group of similar genus?
A group of similar genus is a taxonomic rank that classifies closely related species. Genus is the rank above species and below family in the biological classification system. Organisms within the same genus share a common ancestor and typically have similar characteristics.
How are organisms in a species different from othes in their genus?
Organisms in a species share more similar characteristics and can interbreed to produce viable offspring, whereas organisms in the same genus may have more differences but still share some common characteristics. Species are a more specific group than genus. Organisms in the same genus are more closely related than organisms in different genera.
How are microorganisms named?
Microorganisms are named using binomial nomenclature, a system developed by Carl Linnaeus. Each organism is given a unique two-part Latin name consisting of the genus and species. The name is italicized or underlined, with the genus capitalized and the species lowercase.
How are organisms in a species different from others in genus?
Organisms in a species have characteristics that differ from those of other organisms in their genus.
Are more kinds of organisms in a species or genus?
There are more kinds of organisms in a Genus because species is a subset of genus. Therefore, Genus is superior.
What part of the scientific name will two organisms share if they are related?
When using genus and species in taxonomy , the genus will be the same for two very closely related organisms. The species will separate them.
What is the primary division of a species?
The primary division of a species is into individual organisms. Each species is made up of multiple individual organisms that share similar characteristics and can interbreed to produce fertile offspring.
What is the narrowest level of classification is it genus or species?
The narrowest level of classification is species. Organisms within the same species share similar characteristics and can interbreed to produce fertile offspring.
Is genus same as species?
No, genus and species are different taxonomic ranks in the classification of organisms. A genus is a group of related species, while a species is the most specific level of classification representing a group of organisms that interbreed and produce fertile offspring.
What is the relationship between family, genus, and species in the classification of organisms?
In the classification of organisms, family is a higher taxonomic rank than genus, and genus is a higher rank than species. Organisms that belong to the same genus are more closely related than those in the same family, and organisms in the same species are the most closely related.
