Orden

The video tutorial explains the concept of 'order' in biological classification, one of the seven main categories used to organize living things. It details how biologists classify organisms into categories such as kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species. The tutorial provides examples of orders, including primates and carnivores, and discusses the characteristics shared by organisms within the same order. It also highlights the ongoing discoveries in biology and how classifications can change as new information becomes available.
