Question

Specify any one rule used in binomial nomenclature.

Answer 1

Binomial nomenclature:

1. Binomial nomenclature is a naming system in which a species of living organisms is designated by two words, the first denoting the genus and the second providing the specific epithet.
2. A name is made up of two components.
3. The genus is identified by the first term, while the species is identified by the second word.
4. If the names are handwritten, they are underlined.
5. If typed, they are italics. for example, Rana tigrina.
6. This is done to indicate that it is of Latin origin.
