A scientist classified 10 organisms into the same phylum based on their similarities. She further grouped 4 of these organisms together based on the characteristics they shared. In to which level of classification did the scientist classify the 4 organisms?

a. family
b. genus
c. class
d. order

The correct answer i believe would be family. The main reason it would be family is because the family classification is given to organisms who directly share the same characteristics and behaviors. Under family is genus and species. A species is any animals that can breed to produce fertile offspring. The reason family would make more sense is because a group of organisms who share the same characteristics could easily fit into the category of family.

(most grouping of animals in the same family share the same characteristics and behaviors to a certain extent).

Hope this helps. If so can i please have brainliest!

from my research i have to the conclusion that decomposers, such as fungi, bacteria and invertebrates, play a critical role in nutrient cycling and without them the earth's ecosystem may not support life as we know it. elements such as carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus exist in limited amounts on earth, although huge amounts of carbon are being released into the atmosphere from underground sources now by humans. it is still extremely important that other nutrients be retained by the process of re-use. decomposers are organisms that are able to chemically break down dead material and make these elements available for use by other organisms. without this breakdown of dead material, dead bodies would pile up. so decomposers also play a role in clean up also. without them, life might not continue as we know it and dead material would overwhelm the earth.    

population. population is the number of people or animals in a particular place. an example of population is over eight million people living in new york city.
