उत्तर
Genus comprises a group of related species that have more characters in common in comparison to species of other genera. We can say that genera are aggregates of closely related species. For example, potato and brinjal are two different species, but both belong to the genus Solanum. Lions (Panthera leo), leopards (P. pardus), and tigers (P. tigris), with several common features, are all species of the genus Panthera. This genus differs from another genus, Felis, which includes cats.
