Order- Closely related families that are grouped.

Class- closely related orders grouped together.

Phylum- classes grouped together.

Kingdom- largest most inclusive category.

Phylogeny- the study of how living and extinct organisms are related to one another.

Species- groups of individuals capable of interbreeding.

The 6 kingdoms of Classification in 3 minutes

# data[].attributes.body
This Chapter's topics can be applied to the world around us because it allows people to classify certain things into specific categories like Kingdoms, Phylums, Class, Order, Family, Genus, and Species. By doing this we can understand diversity better. It allows scientists to establish if organisms are related to each other and if so, what common ancestors they share.

- All living things have DNA in common because all organisms carry genetic info in their DNA passed on from earlier generations.

- The Kingdom is the most largest and inclusive category.

- A Genus is a group of similar species.

- Species are groups of individuals that are capable of interbreeding.
