Line 1:
Line 1: − In [[topology]], a genus of a surface is the greatest number of distinct, continuous closed curves that may be drawn on it without separating the surface into distinct regions. The closed curves cannot be self-intersecting. The genus of the surface of a sphere is 0, while the genus of a doughnut shape is 1.+ +

In [[biology]], a genus is a grouping in the [[Linnaean taxonomy]] of living things which includes one or more related species.
