    Can you identify the correct sequence of taxonomical categories?
    (a) Species → Order → Phylum → Kingdom
    (b) Genus → Species → Order → Kingdom
    (c) Species → Genus → Order → Phylum
    Ans : The correct hierarchical arrangement of taxonomic categories in ascending order is

    Species → Genus → Family → Order → Class → Phylum → Kingdom

    Therefore, both (a) and (c) represent correct sequences of taxonomic categories.

    In sequence (b), species should be followed by genus. Therefore, it does not represent the correct sequence.
    (a) (b) (c)
  • #7-a
    Species → Order → Phylum → Kingdom
  • #7-b
    Genus → Species → Order → Kingdom
  • #7-c
    Species → Genus → Order → Phylum
