Detailed explanation-1: -The general taxonomic classification of organisms is as follows: Domain, Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species.
Detailed explanation-2: -Domain – highest level constitutes three domains of life. Kingdom – the second most level constitutes five kingdoms. Phylum – a group of related classes. Class – a group of related orders. Order – a group of related families.
Detailed explanation-3: -Class: This taxonomic category includes related orders. Class Mammalia includes orders such as Primata and Carnivora. Phylum/Division: The term phylum is used in the case of animals. For plants, we use the term division. Kingdom: It is the highest category in the system of classification.
Detailed explanation-4: -Under this system, there are three domains-domain Bacteria (corresponding to domain Eubacteria), domain Archaea (corresponding to kingdom Archaebacteria), and domain Eukarya (corresponding to kingdoms Fungi, Plantae, Animalia, and kingdom “Protista”).
Detailed explanation-5: -Phylum (plural: phyla) is the next rank after kingdom; it is more specific than kingdom, but less specific than class. There are 35 phyla in the kingdom Animalia, including Chordata (all organisms with a dorsal nerve cord), Porifera (sponges), and Arthropoda (arthropods).
