True or False?
_________ The taxonomic category containing phyla with common characteristics is the genus.
_________ The taxonomic category below the class and above the family is the domain.
_________ Convergent evolution is a process by which similarities evolve in organisms not
closely related to one another, often because the organisms live in similar habitats.
_________ A hybrid is a character that evolved in a common ancestor of two groups of a
population.
_________ A species is a more specific taxonomic category than a kingdom.
