(a) A hierarchy is a series of classes or groups in which each class falls into a subgroup of a larger group, which in turn forms part of an even larger group.

OR

classified according to various criteria into successive levels or layers

(bi) Genus of the green monkey is: Chlorocebus.

(bii) Family of the red colobus is: Cercopithecidae

(c) Can’t see the diagram but I would assume that the differences and similarities are adaptations due to allopatric speciation and sympatric speciation

If you google green monkey genus and red colobus family you will find the answers.

Also check out http://www.biologymad.com for all the help you need, it’s not specification specific, but it is English A-Level specific, so the answer you need will be on there somewhere.

It sounds like you need to revise your taxonomy section of work.

    Hierarchical is where each individual information falls into a subgroup of a larger group.

    The genus of the green monkey is chlorocebus.

    The red colobus belongs in the genus piliocolobus.

    You should be able to answer c..
