What generalization can you make about identifying how closely organisms are related?

if 2 or more organisms have more than one of the following the same, they are closley related: kingdom, phylum, class,order,family,genus,and species


What animals are bats related to?

Bats are closely related to other mammals, such as primates, rodents, and carnivores. They belong to the order Chiroptera, which is divided into two suborders: the Megachiroptera (large fruit bats) and the Microchiroptera (small insect-eating bats).


What animal is closely related to a pig?

The animal closely related to a pig is the peccary, also known as javelina. Peccaries belong to the Tayassuidae family, while pigs belong to the Suidae family. Both animals are even-toed ungulates, but they have differences in their physical characteristics and behavior. Despite these differences, peccaries and pigs share a common evolutionary ancestor.


What ten animals are closely related to humans?

The ten animals closely related to humans are (in order of their relation): The Following are members of the Great Apes: 1. The Common Chimpanzee (Pan Ttroglodytes), 2. The Bonobo Chimpanzee (Pan Paniscus), 3. The Western Gorilla (Gorilla Gorilla), 4. The Eastern Gorilla (Gorilla Beringei), 5. The Sumatran Orangutan (Pongo Abelii), 6. The Bornean Orangutan (Pongo Pygmaeus). The gibbons are known as the lesser apes, I'll just name one: 7. The Lar Gibbon (Hylobatidae Lar). It's impossible to say the next closest animals, as they would be the Old World Monkeys (Macques, Baboons etc), which branched off from the Apes thousands of years ago.


Do alligators and crocodiles mate if so what are they called?

No, they cannot. When we talk about animal ancestry, there is a tree of decent: Kingdom: Superphylum: Phylum: Subphylum: Superclass: Class: Subclass: Superorder: Order: Suborder: Family: Subfamily: Tribe: Subtribe: Genus: Subgenus: Species: Subspecies In order for two animals to produce offspring that are capable of reproducing, the animals shoul both be of the same species. Closly related species can mate and produce infertile offspring in some situations, but usually only if those species share the same genus. When you think of interesting 'cross breeds' like the mule, liger, or wolf-dog, the animals are of difference species, but they share a common genus (i.e. horses and donkeys are both of the genus equus, lions and tigers are both of the genus panthera, wolves and domestic dogs are both of the genus canis, etc). Successful cross-genus mating is extremely rare... The few cross genus offspring that do exist are primarily in the bovidae family (cattle/buffalo/yak/etc). Cross family offspring are practically non-existant, having only been known to occur with a limited number of birds. Crocodiles and alligators don't share the same Family, and they cannot produce offspring together.

What animals are more closely related those in the same order or the same genus?

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.

Species that are in the same are more closely related than species that are only in the same?

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.


Which group of organisms would have the most recent common ancestor the members of a clade corresponding to a genus or the members of a clade corresponding to an order?

The group of organisms within a genus would have the most recent common ancestor compared to a group within an order. This is because a genus represents a subset of species that are more closely related and share a more recent common ancestor than the broader group represented by an order.


Why is the domestic dog in the canines order?

B/c it's closely related to the other animals in that order.


Explain how classification groups show how closely related organisms are?

okay you got your kingdom phylum class order family genus and species


Is genus the same as order for whales?

No, genus and order are different taxonomic ranks. Genus refers to a grouping of closely related species, while order is a higher taxonomic rank that includes multiple families of organisms. In the case of whales, the order is Cetacea, which includes multiple genera like Orcinus (killer whale) and Balaenoptera (blue whale).


What is Classification group containing related species?

A taxonomic category that includes similar or related species within a broader classification hierarchy is called a genus. A genus typically contains multiple species that share common characteristics and traits. Examples include the genus Canis, which includes species like wolves, dogs, and jackals.

What is the difference of kingdom and genus?

A kingdom is a broad classification category in taxonomy that groups organisms based on shared characteristics, while a genus is a more specific classification level that groups closely related species. In the taxonomic hierarchy, kingdom is more general and higher up than genus.


Are organisms in the same family less or more 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.


Can different animals have the same genus but be in different classes?

No, animals in the same genus belong to the same class. The genus is a taxonomic rank above the species level but below the family level. Animals in the same genus share more similarities than animals in different genera.
