Question

The third name In trinomial nomenclature is__________.

Answer 1

Scientific name:

1. The name is used to identify and name an organism.
2. The system of naming organisms is called binomial nomenclature.
3. Trinomial nomenclature is similar to binomial nomenclature but the difference between both is that in binomial nomenclature the name of an organism is divided into two parts i.e. genus and species, and in trinomial nomenclature, the name of the organism is divided into three parts: genus, species and subspecies.
4. Genus: According to trinomial nomenclature, the first letter of the genera of an organism is denoted by a capital letter, comes before species, and is written in italics or underlined.
5. Species: According to trinomial nomenclature, the first letter of a species starts with a small letter and comes after the name of the genus of an organism.
6. Subspecies: According to trinomial nomenclature, the first letter of a subspecies starts with a small letter and comes after the name of the species of an organism.
7. For example, Brassica oleracea capitata in which Brassica represents genus name, oleracea represents species name and capitata represents subspecies name.

The third name In trinomial nomenclature is subspecies.
