7. Can you identify the correct sequence of taxonomical categories? (a) Species → Order → Phylum → Kingdom (b) Genus → Species → Order → Kingdom (c) Species → Genus → Order → Phylum
The correct hierarchical arrangement of taxonomic categories in ascending order is
Species → Genus → Family → Order → Class → Phylum → Kingdom
Therefore, both (a) and (c) represent correct sequences of taxonomic categories. In sequence (b), species should be followed by genus. Therefore, it does not represent the correct sequence.
