Question

State whether the following statements are true or false.
In binomial nomenclature, the name of an organism consists of two words in Latin; the first word denotes the specific name and the second the generic name.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

• The local name of thousands and thousands of plants and animals varies from place to place.
  
• Hence, there is a need to standardize the naming of a living organism such that a particular organism is known by the same name all over the world.
• And so Binomial Nomenclature was given.
• The first name denotes the name of the genus and second denotes the Species name.

Hence, the correct answer is 'False'.
