Explain why living things classified in the same genus are more alike than those in the same class?

Answer 1

Genus is a small group including closely related species while class is a large group having related orders and only some similar characters .

Answer 2

Because genus is more specific than class. Things in the same class could be any animal with backbones. things in the same genus have things very similar to each other. Its the last order of classification before species.

Answer 3

because you classify things by starting with general things and you get more and more specific. Also the Genus is like the last name, if the Genus name are the same then the organism will be closer related then if the species name was the same.

Answer 4

Just like kingdoms, phylums, classes, orders, and families, genus is another way to group animals. For example, Homo Sapiens, Homo neanderthalensis, and others Homos are all closely geneticly related. When classifying items, you start with general things and get more and more specific. In a kingdom, there might be 26 things, a phylum, 13. A family, 7,etc..

Answer 5

Genus is a small group including closely related species while class is a large group having related orders and only some similar characters .
