To allow organisms to be placed in many classification levels at the same time.
To standardize the naming and organization fo organisms to avoid confusion.
Many tree frog populations are threatened due to habitat loss. In an effort to promote conservation, tree frogs may be bred in captivity. A zoo acquired male and female tree frogs from two different populations.

Based on this information, which statement correctly describes the relationship between the two populations of tree frogs?
They are in the same species but different kingdoms
They are in the same class but different phyla
They are in the same family but different orders
They are in the same genus but different species
