Before yall all comment saying "do your own homework" I did do it, these are just 3 I couldn't find out of 145 questions
1. Which classification level contains organisms that share more features- order or family? Explain the reason for your choice.
2. Which two classification categories are used for the scientific name of an organism?
3. How does a classification key help identify an organism?

1. Classification in increasing specificity: Domain, Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species
So the family level contains organisms that are more closely related and that is because of the classification levels I listed above.
2. If you are in high school then the answer that teachers typically look for is Genus species, but technically the species name is made up of the Genus and specific epithet (how can the species name be made of the species name?!) but high school level bio overlooks this, but in case you are interested the specific epithet is usually a descriptive word in Latin or it can be the Latin version of a name if something was named after someone.
3. A classification key can be used to identify an organism because it separates out different characteristics that organisms may have and because you know those characteristics of the organisms you can determine relationships between organisms.

1. Family is more specific, so probably they would share more characteristics
2. Genus and species
3. Classification is according to phenotype/genotype/ characteristics...so identification can be made.
