Because a kingdom is a much more diverse measure. I have to use technical language here because it's a very technical question. It's kind of hard to explain really, so here is part of the taxonomy (scientific classification, this one very much condensed) for one of my favourite species, the Common Green Tree Frog (Litoria caerulea) Biota
Kingdom: Animalia
Subkingdom: Metazoa
Phylum: Chordata
Subphylum: Vertebrata
Class: Amphibia
Order: Anura
Family: Hylidae
Genus: Litoria
Species: caerulea The idea is that each taxa (grouping) before species contains several smaller, more specific taxa. In the domain Biota is everything that lives - plants, animals, microscopic life, the lot.
In the kingdom Animalia, it narrows down quite a bit. All members of the other kingdoms are no longer in the picture.
The subkingdom Metazoa includes all animals with a digestive tract, hereby removing a lot of the more primitive animals.
The phylum Chordata comprises only animals with a neural tube. Many insects also have neural tubes and an insect is barely a frog. With the subphylum Vertebrata we are getting much closer. This is the point where the frog splits from the human, the fish, the reptile and the bird. Amphibia, the class, is getting quite specific.
The order, Anura means tailless amphibians. There go newts, axolotls and salamanders - now we are down to frogs and toads.
The family Hylidae narrows it down to just a few tens of frogs, maybe over a few hundred in a family of specialised treefrogs.
Now you're getting very specific. The genus Litoriacomprises perhaps a hundred species. Animals from the same genus can often breed (ie. Equus caballus {horse} and Equus asinus {donkey} producing a mule) but the offspring will probably be sterile.
And once you get to species (caerulea) you'd be lucky to find another split, because these animals are so closely related. Some species have a subspecies, but these animals can interbreed and the offspring will not be sterile. So there is far more variation in a kingdom than in a species, just because a kingdom contains a far, far wider range of living things than does a species.
What else can I help you with?
How many species on this planet do most scientists believe live in the rainforest?
More than half
About how many different types of organisms have scientists discovered so far?
Scientists believe there are around 8.7 millions species on Earth, but this number could be off by 1.3 million either way. It is estimated there are 6.5 million land species and 2.2 species in the oceans.
Charles Darwin found fossils that looked like ancient versions of living species From this evidence Darwin suggested that Earth was?
more than 6,000 years old
Are organisms in the same family are less closely related than organisms in the same order.?
Yes. "Family" is a more precise designation than "order." The levels, from most general to most specific, are Kingdom -- Phylum -- Class -- Order -- Family -- Genus -- species.
Why might a particular kind of organism have more than one common name?
Different regions might have different names often different in locations and different languages.
Why is there more variety in a king dom than there is in a species?
a fish and a cow are in the same kingdom but not the same species
Which group has more organisms a kingdom or a species?
species has more organisms than a kingdom.
Why is there more variety in a kingdom than there is in a species giving a example?
because a species is a group of extremly alike organisms and a kingdom is a group of organisms similar in a few ways but is very vague like KINGDOM ANIMELIA and SPECIES DOMESTICA
will there be more species or genera in a kingdom?
There are typically more species than genera in a kingdom. Genera are groups of species that share similar characteristics, and within each genus, there can be multiple species that have evolved from a common ancestor. This hierarchical classification system results in more species than genera within a kingdom.
Why is there variety in a kingdom than there is in a species?
because in a kingdom it is made up of a hundred different species and in a species it is just the same animal over and over again
How many species does each kingdom have?
More than 1000 different species.
Is phylum more inclusive than kingdom?
No. The heirarchy goes...kingdom, phylum, genus, species, so kingdom is the broadest of the terms, and phylum is more specific.
How many levels of organization are in your modern system of classification?
There are eight levels of organization in the modern system of classification, starting from the most inclusive to the most specific: domain, kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species.
Is there more yeasts than algae?
well algea is a nippy and yeast is a whippey
What kingdom Phylum Class Order Family Genus and Species is a Butterfly in?
Butterflies are more than a single species. Butterflies are a group of insects, containing multiple families, many genera, and many species. They are in the kingdom Animalia, the phylum Arthropoda, the class Insecta, and the order Lepidoptera.
What is butterfly in kingdom phylum class order family genus and species?
Butterflies are more than a single species. Butterflies are a group of insects, containing multiple families, many genera, and many species. They are in the kingdom Animalia, the phylum Arthropoda, the class Insecta, and the order Lepidoptera.
Are there more families than species?
There are more species than there are families.
