Mary and amy have selected organisms for their study. mary's organism shares the same genus as your species, and amy's organism shares the same phylum as your species. which one has more in common with your species? explain your answer.

Taxonomy is a branch of science which helps in classifying and naming the organisms based on their characters. The organisms that share the same genus are more closely related as compared to the organisms that share the same phylum.

This is because the classification level becomes more closer and specific as we move down the classification hierarchy. This is why organisms belong to the same kingdom share less common characters as compared to the organisms which are present in the same phylum and so on.

Example: two animals that share same genus are more closely related than the animals that share the same family.

well we can't tell you because we cant see the time give a screen shot or something.
