Question

Select the correct match.

1. Two plants in the same family are in the same _______.
2. If two plants are in the same order, are they in the same family _______
3. If two plants are in the same family, are they in the same order _______
4. Do two plants more likely have a recent shared common ancestor if they are in the same order or in the same class _______
5. If plant species A and plant species B are in the same family, and plant species C is in a different family, which pair of species listed likely has the more recent common ancestor _______
Option:
a. ["class and order", "class", "genus", "order", "species", "class and genus"]
b. ["not necessarily", "yes", "no"]
c. ["yes", "no", "not necessarily"]
d. ["same order", "same class"]
e. ["species A and B", "species B and C", "species A and C"]

Answer 1

The correct matches for each statement are: 1. Order, 2. Not necessarily, 3. Yes, 4. Same order, and 5. Species A and B—based on the taxonomic classification hierarchy used to determine genetic relatedness and evolutionary history in biology.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question relates to the taxonomic classification system which organizes organisms based on shared characteristics and genetic relatedness, and the correct match for each statement would be:

1. Two plants in the same family are in the same order.
   
   
2. If two plants are in the same order, are they in the same family? No, not necessarily.
   
   
3. If two plants are in the same family, are they in the same order? Yes, they are necessarily in the same order.
   
   
4. Do two plants more likely have a recent shared common ancestor if they are in the same order or in the same class? They are more closely related if they are in the same order.
   
   
5. If plant species A and plant species B are in the same family, and plant species C is in a different family, which pair of species listed likely has the more recent common ancestor? The answer is species A and B.

These matches are drawn from understanding the hierarchical structure of the taxonomic classification, where orders are grouped into classes and families are grouped into orders. Understanding genetic relatedness and the taxonomic classification system are important aspects of biology and help in comprehending the evolutionary history and relationships among organisms.
