1. In the hierarchy of biological classification, the taxonomic category that is broader is the Order.
2. Orders consist of multiple families within them. Families, on the other hand, are more specific and contain related genera.
The purpose of binomial nomenclature:
1. Binomial nomenclature is a system in biology that gives each organism a two-part scientific name, consisting of the genus and species names.
2. This naming system was introduced by Carl Linnaeus to provide a universal way to identify and classify living organisms based on their shared characteristics.
3. For example, in the scientific name "Canis lupus," "Canis" represents the genus (which includes species like wolves and dogs) and "lupus" represents the species (in this case, the gray wolf).
4. The purpose of binomial nomenclature is to create a standardized naming system that helps scientists worldwide communicate effectively about different species without confusion or ambiguity.
