उत्तर
- The next category, family, has a group of related genera with a smaller number of similarities as compared to genus and species. Families are characterised on the basis of both vegetative and reproductive features of plant species.
- Among plants, for example, three different genera, Solanum, Petunia, and Datura, are placed in the family Solanaceae. For example, the genus Panthera, comprising lions, tigers, and leopards, is put along with the genus Felis (cats) in the family Felidae. Similarly, if you observe the features of a cat and a dog, you will find some similarities and some differences as well.
- They are separated into two different families – Felidae and Canidae, respectively.
