Question

question 9 (1 point)
could a species belong to more than one genus?
yes, but only if the species has more than one referent.
yes, it could belong to many.
no, because every species has exactly one genus.

Explanation:

In biological classification (taxonomy), a species is defined as belonging to exactly one genus. The genus is a taxonomic rank above species, and each species is placed in one genus based on evolutionary and morphological relationships. The first two options are incorrect as they suggest a species can belong to multiple genera, which goes against taxonomic principles.

Answer:

C. No, because every species has exactly one genus.
