Question

International code of 'Biological Nomenclature' is applicable to

• A. Viruses
• B. Plants
• C. Animals
• D. Both B and C

Answer 1

The correct option is D Both B and C

• The International Code of Biological Nomenclature is the set of rules and recommendations dealing with the formal scientific names that are given to plants and animals.
  
• Its intent is that each taxonomic group has only one correct name that is accepted worldwide. The value of a scientific name is that it is an identifier; it is not necessarily of descriptive value, or even accurate.
  
• International code of Viral Nomenclature (ICVN) is applicable for viruses.

So, the correct option is 'Both B and C'.
