Question

How genus and species are written?

Answer 1

Biological naming of organisms:

1. A taxonomic rank called genus is used to categorize viruses, as well as living and extinct creatures, in terms of biology.
2. In the biological categorization, the hierarchy genus is placed above species and below the family.
3. A species is an organism's fundamental unit of classification, taxonomic rank, and biodiversity in biology.
4. The specific epithet comes after the genus name; the genus name is always capitalized and written first.
5. When handwritten these names must be underlined separately.
6. For example- the biological name of mango is Mangifera indica.
