The lion's scientific name is Panthera leo. The leopard's scientific name is Panthera pardus . The tiger's is Panthera tigris. Which statement is true? A) All 3 animals share a genus. B) All 3 animals share a species. Eliminate C) The 3 animals are genetically identical. D) The 3 animals share no genetic information.
The word Panthera remains the same in each *species*. Find out what the first word of Binomial nomenclature is, or use logic.
the answer would be A because the first name is the genus name and the second name is the species name this is due the classification system. domain kingdom phylum class order family genus species i hope it helped :)
All of them share a genus according to the five kingdom classification of animals
I want to mention again the importance of logic. You see "Panthera" repeat several time, and you know they're all different species. Therefore, the second term is of the species, eliminating B and C. For D, all animals have DNA, therefore the possibility of two given animals sharing no similar dna is .000000000 .... 001. That leaves you with A, and you didn't even have to know *anything*! besides where dna is found
