Which two organisms must be in the same order?
For example : if two organisms are in the same ORDER, they must be in the same class, phylum & kingdom. Even though the cat & the housefly have the same species group name (domestica), they CAN’T BE the same species because they are not in the same genus, family, order, etc.
What three taxa do all organisms belong to?
