WHAT DOES GENERA MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Genus

In biology, a genus /ˈdʒiːnəs/ is a taxonomic rank used in the biological classification of living and fossil organisms. 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. e.g., Pongo pygmaeus and Pongo abelii are two species within the genus Pongo. Pongo is a genus within the family Hominidae. The composition of a genus is determined by a taxonomist. The standards for genus classification are not strictly codified, so different authorities often produce different classifications for genera.There are some general practices used, however, including the idea that a newly defined genus should fulfill these three criteria to be descriptively useful: ▪ monophyly – all descendants of an ancestral taxon are grouped together; ▪ reasonable compactness – a genus should not be expanded needlessly; and ▪ distinctness – in regards of evolutionarily relevant criteria, i.e.

6 QUOTES WITH «GENERA»

Famous quotes and sentences with the word genera.
1
Asa Gray
I accept extinction as best explaining disjoined species. I see that the same cause must have reduced many species of great range to small, and that it may have reduced large genera to so small, and of families.
2
Asa Gray
Is it philosophical, is it quite allowable, to assume without evidence from fossil plants that the family or any of the genera was once larger and wide spread? and occupied a continuous area?
3
John Moody
The close relationship between railroad expansion and the genera development and prosperity of the country is nowhere brought more distinctly into relief than in connection with the construction of the Pacific railroads.
4
John Moody
People began to understand that with the acquisition of California the nation had obtained practically half a continent, of which the future possibilities were almost unlimited, so far as the development of natural resources and the genera production of wealth were concerned.
5
George Gaylord Simpson
Every paleontologist knows that most new species, genera, and families, and that nearly all categories above the level of family appear in the record suddenly and are not led up to by known, gradual, completely continuous transitional sequences.
6
George Gaylord Simpson
Splitting and gradual divergence of genera is exemplified very well and in a large variety of organisms.
