Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The more levels two organisms share, the more they have in common. The largest groups into which scientists divide living things are called kingdoms. Each kingdom is divided into smaller groups. At one time, scientists grouped all living things into two kingdoms: plants and animals.

Detailed explanation-2: -Genus. The genus (plural, genera) is the taxonomic rank between family and species. The groups of organisms in a genus share many structural similarities and are very closely related.

Detailed explanation-3: -Organisms within a family have more in common than with organisms in any classification level above it. Because they share so much in common, organisms of a family are said to be related to each other. Genus is a way to describe the generic name for an organism.
