By comparing the DNA sequences of two species we can tell whether they are same species or not.
An example of an organism that is in the same genus but a different species is the lion (Panthera leo) and the tiger (Panthera tigris). Both lions and tigers belong to the genus Panthera, but they are distinct species within that genus.
When the genus and species name are the same, it is known as a tautonym. An example of this would be Gorilla gorilla, the scientific name for the Western Gorilla.
The second word of a scientific name represents the species within a genus. It further specifies the organism and distinguishes it from other species within the same genus.
No, genus and species are different taxonomic ranks in the classification of organisms. A genus is a group of related species, while a species is the most specific level of classification representing a group of organisms that interbreed and produce fertile offspring.
No, domestic cats and humans do not belong to the same family, genus, or species. Domestic cats belong to the family Felidae, genus Felis, and species Felis catus, while humans belong to the family Hominidae, genus Homo, and species Homo sapiens.
A group of closely related species would share the same genus.
They have the same genus - "URSUS". *1st part of scientific name is the genus, 2nd is the species
The classification of organisms from general to specific goes: Domain, Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species. Therefor, two species the same Genus MUST be members of the same Family. However, a Family may consist of several different Genus, so species in the same Family are not necessarily members of the same Genus.
No; if they belong to the same genus then they have to belong to the same family.
No; if they belong to the same genus then they have to belong to the same family.
No; if they belong to the same genus then they have to belong to the same family.
An example of an organism that is in the same genus but a different species is the lion (Panthera leo) and the tiger (Panthera tigris). Both lions and tigers belong to the genus Panthera, but they are distinct species within that genus.
No, not normally. Please not that animals belonging to a different genus can NEVER be of the same species.
No, not normally. Please not that animals belonging to a different genus can NEVER be of the same species.
No, they are different species but belong to the same genus of Panthera.
They are of the same genus, not species
Yes. Species are listed under genera.
