Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A group of genera having similar characters comprise a family. In biological classification, family is one of the eight major/obligate taxonomic ranks; it is classified between order and genus.

Detailed explanation-2: -In order for a genus to be descriptively useful, it must have monophyly, reasonable compactness, and distinctness. Willi Hennig, a German biologist, defined monophyly as groups based on shared derived characteristics or traits that distinguish the group from other groups of organisms.

Detailed explanation-3: -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. Members of a genus are more closely related to each other than they are to other genera in the same family.
