Question
which statement about organisms classified in the same family is true? they are members of the same species. they are in the same order. they all have the same genetic makeup. they consume the same food.
Biological taxonomic ranks follow the hierarchy: Domain > Kingdom > Phylum > Class > Order > Family > Genus > Species. Organisms in the same family are part of the higher, broader rank of order, so they must belong to the same order. The other options are incorrect: a family contains multiple species, so they are not the same species; genetic makeup varies between species/individuals in a family; and diet is not a fixed trait for all members of a family.
