Question: [QUESTION]Select the organism in the same genus as the green tree frog. Solution: A green tree frog's scientific name is Hyla cinerea. The first word of its scientific name is Hyla. This organism and the green tree frog are in the same genus and the same species! Both organisms have the same scientific name, Hyla cinerea. Ardea cinerea and Hyla cinerea are not in the same genus. These organisms are not in the same genus, but part of their scientific names is the same. Ardea cinerea and Hyla cinerea have the same species name within their genus, cinerea. But the first words of their scientific names are different. Ardea cinerea is in the genus Ardea, and Hyla cinerea is in the genus Hyla. Strix aluco is in the genus Strix. The first word of its scientific name is Strix. So, Strix aluco and Hyla cinerea are not in the same genus.
