Answer:

The class and order levels are switched

Step-by-step explanation:

Woese's classification starts with a division in three parts of all the organisms, which is their domain, so according to him there's Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukaryota. After the domain we have the kingdom, then phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species at the end.

We can take the leopard as an example:

Domain - Eukaryota

Kingdom - Animalia

Phylum - Chordata

Class - Mammalia

Order - Carnivora

Family - Felidae

Genus - Panthera

Species - Panthera pardus
