Question

Question states a made up organism
and want me to classify it by kingdom , phylum and genus

am i supposed to "make up" the genus since they are not real animals.

an animal example is this


Butter-roaches: genetic engineering created these butterfly-like creatures from cockroaches. Butter-roaches eat poison grass.

Answer 1

I would eliminate the "poison" part. It wouldn't survive if it ate poison.
What about something like eat a wide variety of green plants and nectar bearing flowers, have 13 body segments, six legs, two antenna, and a tounge that can extend twice as far as the length of their body for reaching into deep throated flowers for nectar.

Answer 2

very informational thank you but im wondering on how to find the genus of this species?

Answer 3

im filling out a taxonomy chart and am supposed to find the genus

Answer 4

start with the body segments, legs, antenna, tounge.

Answer 5

for example

PHOTOSYNTHETIC Sunbasking shark


Classification: Kingdom Animalia, Phylum Chordata, Class Chondrichthyes, Order Lamniformes, Family Cetorhinidae, **Genus Cetorhinus**, Species maximus

CONCLUSION: So keep the PHYLUM of the animal as it is and change the GENUS according to the imaginary type that is likely to appear in the year 2525.

Answer 6

i dont know how to find a genus of a species

Answer 7

Hmmm. Ok, then consider rapidly changing domesticated species, for food. A bird that has no feathers, large meat breast, short legs, eats plant wastes.
