Family and order can be connected in some cases, as families often have established structures and roles that help maintain order within the family unit. Additionally, order within a family can contribute to a sense of security and stability among its members. However, the connection between family and order can vary depending on the specific dynamics and circumstances within each family.
Organisms within the same family are more closely related than those within the same order. Family is a higher classification level than order, so organisms within the same family share more recent common ancestry.
Yes, species within the same family are more closely related to each other than species within the same order. Family is a taxonomic rank that is more specific and shows a closer genetic relationship between species, while order is a broader taxonomic rank that includes multiple families.
Order is the category between family and class in scientific classification schemes. It groups together related families based on shared characteristics.
Order falls between class and family.
Porpoises and dolphins are actually both toothed whales.
Organisms within the same family are more closely related than those within the same order. Family is a higher classification level than order, so organisms within the same family share more recent common ancestry.
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.

Species that are in the same family are more closely related than species that are only in the same order. The biological classification of family falls between order and genus.
No. They are two separate species; they are only related by the Order Mammalia.
A member of a family is typically more closely related to each other genetically and shares familial traits, while a member of an order is more distantly related but shares certain characteristics and features specific to that taxonomic group.
Yes, species within the same family are more closely related to each other than species within the same order. Family is a taxonomic rank that is more specific and shows a closer genetic relationship between species, while order is a broader taxonomic rank that includes multiple families.
Koalas are not related to bears. Koalas are marsupials, while bears are placental mammals. The closest living relative to the koala is the wombat, as both belong to the family Diprotodontia. The koala's family, Phascolarctidae, is closest to the wombat family, Vombatidae because they are both of the sub-order Vombatiformes.
Order is the category between family and class in scientific classification schemes. It groups together related families based on shared characteristics.
Order is as follows: Life Domain Kingdom Phylum Class Order Family Genus Species To answer your question, animals in the same Genus are more closely related then those of the same Order.
Groundhogs and skunks are in different families. Groundhogs are in the Marmota genus, the Sciuridae family, and the Rodentia order. Skunks are in the family Mephitidae, the superfamily Musteloidea, the suborder Caniformia, and the order Carnivora. Although groundhogs and skunks are both mammals, they are only distantly related : )
Neither...a cayman (caiman) is a cayman. Crocodile: Order: Crocodilia Family: Crocodylidae Alligator: Order: Crocodilia Family: Alligatoridae Cayman: Order: Crocodilia Family: Alligatoridae Subfamily: Caimaninae The cayman is more closely related to the alligator having the same family, but the cayman has a different subfamily and the genus and species are different for all three.
