Which of the following sequences correctly represents the taxonomic hierarchy for a plant, moving from the most specific to the most general category?

Options

  1. ASpecies →\rightarrow Genus →\rightarrow Family →\rightarrow Class →\rightarrow Order →\rightarrow Division →\rightarrow Kingdom
  2. BSpecies →\rightarrow Genus →\rightarrow Family →\rightarrow Order →\rightarrow Class →\rightarrow Division →\rightarrow Kingdom
  3. CSpecies →\rightarrow Genus →\rightarrow Order →\rightarrow Family →\rightarrow Class →\rightarrow Phylum →\rightarrow Kingdom
  4. DSpecies →\rightarrow Genus →\rightarrow Family →\rightarrow Order →\rightarrow Class →\rightarrow Phylum →\rightarrow Kingdom

Correct answer

B. Species →\rightarrow Genus →\rightarrow Family →\rightarrow Order →\rightarrow Class →\rightarrow Division →\rightarrow Kingdom

Step-by-step solution

The taxonomic hierarchy is the arrangement of various taxonomic categories in a definite order.

Moving from the most specific (lowest) to the most general (highest) category, the standard sequence is:
Species →\rightarrow Genus →\rightarrow Family →\rightarrow Order →\rightarrow Class →\rightarrow Phylum/Division →\rightarrow Kingdom.

In the case of plants, the term 'Division' is used instead of 'Phylum'.

Therefore, the correct sequence for a plant is:
Species →\rightarrow Genus →\rightarrow Family →\rightarrow Order →\rightarrow Class →\rightarrow Division →\rightarrow Kingdom.

Answer: Species →\rightarrow Genus →\rightarrow Family →\rightarrow Order →\rightarrow Class →\rightarrow Division →\rightarrow Kingdom
