Detailed explanation-1: -The current taxonomic system now has eight levels in its hierarchy, from lowest to highest, they are: species, genus, family, order, class, phylum, kingdom, domain. Thus species are grouped within genera, genera are grouped within families, families are grouped within orders, and so on (Figure 1).

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. Members of a genus are more closely related to each other than they are to other genera in the same family.

Detailed explanation-3: -In the hierarchy of biological classification, genus comes above species and below family. In binomial nomenclature, the genus name forms the first part of the binomial species name for each species within the genus.

Detailed explanation-4: -In biology, the word family describes the broadest group category, then genus, and then species. For example, primates are a family, and humans are a species within that family, but we’re not in the same genus as macaques: macaques have their own genus. Dogs and wolves are so closely related they’re in the same genus.

Detailed explanation-5: -Typically, there are four classifications for data: public, internal-only, confidential, and restricted.
