The phyla are typically organized by body structure, and horses belong to the phylum Chordata, which includes animals who, for at least some part of their life, exhibit a notochord (structure in embryos that develops into the vertebral body), pharyngeal slits, a dorsal nerve cord and a post-anal tail. Considering those classification some other obvious organisms in the Chordata phylum include humans, dogs, cats, etc. A bit detailed of an answer, but that's what you get from a Biology nerd :)

What phylum is a sea horse?

All domestic and feral horse breeds belong to the same phylum as they are all the same species, just different breeds. The phylum for a horse is Chordata.


Two species belonging to the same class must also belong to the same?

Phylum. Organisms in the same class belong to the same phylum, which is a higher taxonomic rank that groups organisms based on shared characteristics.


Two organisms in the same class but different orders?

An example of two organisms in the same class but different orders is a lion (order: Carnivora) and a horse (order: Perissodactyla). Both belong to the class Mammalia, but they are classified under different orders based on their biological characteristics and evolutionary history.


Which organisms would look most alike Organisms in the same phylum Organisms in the same family Organisms in the same class Organisms in the same order?

Organisms in the same family would look most alike, as they share a more specific set of characteristics and traits compared to those in the same phylum, class, or order. The family classification is more closely related and typically reflects similar morphological and genetic features. In contrast, organisms within the same phylum or class may exhibit a wider range of diversity due to broader classification levels.


Is a horse a phylum?

Nope. Its an animal. A phylum is a huge group of related animals. A horse is in a phylum; Chordata.


If humans and pandas belong to the same class then they must also belong to the same?

Phylum (Chordata), as class is located at a lower taxonomic level than phylum for classification of organisms.


If two organisms belong to the same family what other taxnomic groups do the organisms have in common?

Organisms belonging to the same family share the same order, class, phylum, and kingdom. For example, if two organisms are in the same family Felidae (cats), then they would also belong to the order Carnivora, class Mammalia, phylum Chordata, and kingdom Animalia.


What does the biological word phylum mean?

In biology, a phylum is a taxonomic rank that is used to classify organisms with similar body plans. Organisms within the same phylum share certain characteristics and evolutionary history. It is a major category in the classification of living organisms.


Organisms that below to the same class must belong to what?

Organisms that belong to the same class must also belong to the same phylum. Classes are subdivisions of phyla in the classification hierarchy of organisms.


If two organisms are in the same phylum and the same family then they also belong to the same?

Genus. Organisms that are in the same phylum and family may belong to different genera because the family level is more inclusive than the genus level of classification.


If two organisms are in the same phylum what does this mean?

If two organisms are in the same phylum, it means they share a significant level of evolutionary relationship and exhibit fundamental structural and developmental similarities. Phyla are major taxonomic groups that categorize organisms based on key characteristics, such as body plan and organization. This classification indicates that the organisms likely diverged from a common ancestor relatively early in the evolutionary timeline. Thus, being in the same phylum suggests a broad connection in the evolutionary history of those organisms.


Are organisms in the same phylum classified in the same family?

No they cannot. In biological classification, the family comes after the class. Basically that means that the family is more specific than the class so two animals that are in the same family may not necessarily be in the same class.
