Chapter 20, Problem 1VCQ
Figure 20.6 At what levels are cats and dogs considered part of the same group?
Expert Solution & Answer
Summary Introduction
To analyze:
Levels at which cats and dogs are considered part of the same group.
Introduction:
The various levels for classifications of organisms include domain, kingdom, phylum or division, class, order, family, genus and species.
Explanation of Solution
Dogs and cats belong to the same domain, kingdom, phylum, class, and order so they are in the same groups at five levels of classifications. Both cats and dogs are in Eukarya (domain), Animalia (kingdom), Chordata (phylum), Mammalia (class) and Carnivora (Order).
Conclusion
Cats and dogs are considered to be the part of the same groups at five levels that are domain, kingdom, phylum, class, and order.
