Praxis II Biology

Answer: E, The group with the most members is phylum. Phylum is the taxonomic rank below kingdom.

Key Takeaway: Biological classification is the science and practice of taxonomy for living creatures. Organisms are grouped and ranked based on similarities. There are a number of systems used, but the most common has seven orders of rank. The highest order is kingdom, which ranks organisms as being one of 5 broad types of living creatures. As you move down in rank, organisms become increasingly similar, and thus each successive rank has fewer members.
