Question

Which of the following is NOT more inclusive than order?



kingdom


phylum


class


none of the above

Answer 1

the answer is none of the above. If you look at the classification system:
(kingdom-phylum-class-order-family-genus-species) you will notice that the first three choices are more inclusive than order. However, family,genus and species are not more inclusive than order but they haven't been mentioned in the question. Therefore, the answer is none of the above.

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer is none of the above.

Explanation:

In taxonomy, there are several taxa that include other taxa while going downwards in classification. This means kingdom the highest rank includes all other taxa or rank, Phylum includes all other taxa except kingdom and similarly, the class includes all other taxa except phylum and kingdom. Order is a lower rank than class but higher than family, genus, and species so it includes only family, genus, and species not higher ranks.

          kingdom-phylum-class-order-family-genus-species

In the given question all three taxa are higher in rank than order and also include the order in them and there is no option for lower rank.

Thus, the correct answer is none of the above.
