Can two members of the same class belong to different orders?
for example : if two organisms are in the same ORDER, they must be in the same class, phylum & kingdom. even though the cat & the housefly have the same species group name (domestica), they CAN’T BE the same species because they are not in the same genus, family, order, etc.
