The correct Answer is:
To answer the question "Several genera resembling one another in their major anatomical and reproductive characters are placed together in," we need to analyze the options provided: species, genus, family, and order. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Taxonomy**: Taxonomy is the science of classification of living organisms. It organizes biological diversity into hierarchical categories. 2. **Hierarchy of Classification**: The major taxonomic ranks from broadest to narrowest are: - Kingdom - Phylum - Class - Order - Family - Genus - Species 3. **Identifying the Grouping**: The question specifies "several genera." In taxonomic classification, multiple genera (plural of genus) that share significant anatomical and reproductive similarities are grouped together. 4. **Determining the Correct Category**: - **Species**: This is the most specific category and refers to individual organisms. - **Genus**: This is a group of closely related species. - **Family**: This is a group of related genera. - **Order**: This is a broader category that includes multiple families. 5. **Conclusion**: Since the question asks about several genera, they would be grouped together in a **family**. Therefore, the correct answer is **family**. ### Final Answer: Several genera resembling one another in their major anatomical and reproductive characters are placed together in a **family**. ---
