A cladogram is a diagram used in cladistics to show evolutionary relationships between species, based on shared characteristics. It is not the same as a taxonomic scheme, which is a formal system for classifying and naming organisms into a hierarchical structure based on shared ancestry and evolutionary history.

The most specific taxonomic grouping in the hierarchical classification scheme is the “species” level. It is the basic unit of classification and refers to a group of organisms that can interbreed to produce fertile offspring.
Taxonomic keys can be used with any classification scheme, not just the five kingdom system. They are tools that help identify organisms based on specific characteristics and can be adapted to different classification systems. Taxonomic keys are flexible and can accommodate variations in classification frameworks.
The sequence that exhibits an increasing-most inclusive scheme of classification is: species, genus, family, order, class, phylum, kingdom, domain. This sequence starts at the smallest taxonomic level (species) and progresses to the largest and most inclusive level (domain).
What are the taxonomic classifications on leptospira
The taxonomic rank between Phylum and Order is Class. A Class consists of one or more Orders with similar characteristics and is more specific than a Phylum but broader than an Order. Organisms within the same Class share more common traits than those in different Classes.
