Although the question isn't as specific as I would personally like it to be, I believe you are speaking of the classification system for living organisms: Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species.

For example, all birds are in the Animalia Kingdom, Phylum of Chordata (with a backbone), and Class Aves (birds). At the Order level, the birds begin to diverge. For instance, the pelicans are in the Pelecaniformes Order while the nuthatches are in the Passeriformes Order. Next comes the Family with the pelicans in the Pelecanidae family and the nuthatches in the Sittidae family. At the genus level, the nuthatches are in the genus Sitta. At the species level, there are the White-breasted Nuthatch (Sitta carolinensis), Red-breasted Nuthatch (Sitta canadensis), Brown-headed Nuthatch (Sitta pusilla) and Pygmy Nuthatch (Sitta pygmaea). The scientific names are all in Latin so that scientists around the world can communicate in a common language. A White-breasted Nuthatch can then be classified as: Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Chordata
Class: Aves
Order: Passeriformes
Family: Sittidae
Genus: Sitta
Species: carolinensis

What are the levels of biological classification from the smallest grouping to the largest grouping?
The Biological Levels of Classification from largest grouping to smallest grouping are: Domain Kingdom Phylum Class Order Family Genus Species A scientific name of an oganism contains the genus and the species. For example,Acer Rubrum is a scientific name for 'Red maple' . 'Acer' is the genus while 'Rubrum is the species.
What are the levels of biological classification from the largest grouping to the smallest grouping?
