Depending on what you have, it would be the answers earliest in the taxanomy charts. Like if your answers were Phylum, Species, Family, and Class, then your answer would probably be Phylum, because it's one of the first listed group in the animal kingdom.

Which level of classification has greatest similarity?
The levels of classification for all organisms is as following (from broadest to narrowest) Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species. So organisms that have the same species will be most alike.
What are the three levels of biological diversity?
The three levels of biological diversity are:Genetic diversitySpecies diversity, andCommunity and ecosystem diversity.
What best describes diversity in terms of natural selection?
Diversity is the number of different role players (species) in an area. I like to think of diversity in the form of niches. The number of niches being filled in an ecosystem is directly related to the diversity.
How might the lack of genetic diversity found in populations of endangered species might hinder their recovery?
Lack of genetic diversity can becomes a problem when a species is hit with infectious diseases. If all the organisms are very similar, then it is very likely that they will all be affected by the same disease, thus destroying the species as a whole. In species with high amounts of genetic diversity, a disease may destroy a section of the population, but many individuals will be resistant to the disease.
Which kingdom has the smallest number of species?
This is called the hierarchy of biological classification., going from most member to a specific member. Staring with the most general: life, domain, kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, species.
What biom has the greatest diversity?
Probably the ocean biome, but the rain forest biome on land would have the highest species diversity.
Which land biome occurs in the US and once contained the greatest species diversity?
Grasslanda
Areas that contain the greatest amount of diversity of plant and animal species on earth?
Rainforest
How is genetic diversity different from species diversity?
The main difference between genetic diversity and species diversity is that genetic diversity is the differences of DNA among individuals of a particular species whereas species diversity is the variety of species in a particular region. Ecological diversity is the variety of ecosystems in a particular area.Oct 30, 2017
Species diversity is the number of what?
species diversity is the number of species that live in one area (or ecosystem)
How is genetic diversity beneficial a species?
Crossing over causes genetic diversity. If there was no genetic diversity in a species, the species would be prone to extinction.
How is genetic diversity to beneficial to a species?
Crossing over causes genetic diversity. If there was no genetic diversity in a species, the species would be prone to extinction.
How is genetic diversity beneficial to species?
Crossing over causes genetic diversity. If there was no genetic diversity in a species, the species would be prone to extinction.
What is species diversity diversity?
Species diversity is the number of different species in a particular area weighted by some measure of abundance such as number of individuals or biomass.
Why does extinction endanger diversity?
Extinction is the permanent removal of a species which decreases bio-diversity. Bio-diversity is measured in two fashions # of species and # of members/species these two factors together make up a regions bio diversity, therefore with the removal of a species the regions bio-diversity decreases.
What is the greatest diversity of life in the ocean?
The greatest diversity among species exist in insects. There are hundreds of thousands of species with more being discovered all the time. ===================================== (I think what the contributor is looking for is: In the equatorial rain forests.)
What 3 examples of biodiversity?
genetic diversity species diversity ecosystem diversity
