Given is the classification of human and chimpanzee. The taxonomic categories in which humans and chimpanzee differ are:
Correct answer: D. Genus and Species
- A. Order and Family
- B. Family and Genus
- C. Order and Species
- D. Genus and Species
Explanation
The correct answer is option D: genus and species. When classifying humans (Homo sapiens) and chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes), they belong to the different genus (Homo for humans and Pan for chimpanzee) and different species (sapiens and troglodytes). Genus and species represent the most specific levels of classification in the Linnaean system. The other options are incorrect because they either involve broader categories or incorrect combinations of taxonomic levels.
