Question

A order is composed of a number of related... a) kingdoms b) phyla c)families d)species

Answer 1

In the Linnaean system of biological taxonomy, an order is composed of several related families.

Step-by-step explanation:

An order in the context of biological taxonomy is composed of a number of related families. The hierarchy of biological organization is such that each level encompasses a broader category of organisms. The hierarchical classification system, known as the Linnaean system, is structured from most inclusive to most specific as follows: domain, kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species. Therefore, the correct answer to the question is 'families'.

Answer 2

An order is composed of a number of the family followed by genus followed by species.

Explanation:

Categorizing the living organism based on their taxonomic rank is known as Biological classification. Taxonomic rank divides the organism in the following order Kingdom >Phylum> class> order > family> genus> species. The organisms are classified into these taxonomic ranks in taxonomic hierarchy based on specific descriptions of life forms. For examples plant and animals are placed into different kingdoms. Hence, the moves from broader classification to a specific classification of an organism. Each living organism has been categorized into a specific taxonomic rank up to species.
