The largest group within a kingdom is typically the phylum. A phylum is a taxonomic rank in biological classification that groups together organisms with similar body plans and characteristics. It is a higher rank than kingdom and includes multiple classes, orders, families, and genera within it.
They are in the same Class but different Orders. (Also different Families and Genera, which are lower subdivisions.)
Anyone from the rank of Sergeant upwards.
If the phylum is broken down into classes, the next grouping would be orders. After orders, the next grouping would be families, followed by genera (singular: genus), and finally species.
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.
Yes. It could be done for a number of reasons.
Your question should give us a bit more context since there are various types of rank in various situations. In the military, officers of higher rank can give orders to officers or soldiers of lower rank.
The singular for genera is genus.
Genera
Partridges are a type of bird in the pheasant family, Phasianidae, and includes 11 genera for a total of 43 species. A list of all genera and species can be found at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partridge.
someone like a solider who refuses not to take orders from a officer of some higher rank.
The word genera is the plural of the word genus.
