Understanding Genus and Taxonomic Classification — NEET Biology
📚 Practice ConceptGenus comprises a group of related species which has more characters in common in comparison to species of other genera. We can say that genera are aggregates of closely related species. For example, potato and brinjal are two different species but both belong to the genus Solanum. Lion (Panthera leo), leopard (P. pardus) and tiger (P. tigris) with several common features, are all species of the genus Panthera. This genus differs from another genus Felis which includes cats.
Match the following taxonomic categories with their defining features and a relevant example: Column I (Taxonomic Category) A. Genus B. Family C. Order D. Class Column II (Defining Feature) i. Aggregates of closely related species ii. Group of related genera with fewer similarities than genus/species iii. Assemblage of families based on aggregate characters iv. Category that includes related orders Column III (Example of Member/Group) 1. *Solanum* 2. Felidae 3. Primata 4. Mammalia Which of the following options represents the correct match?
