Answer 1

Answer:

option a is correct that is 1,2,4

Answer 2

Answer:

(a) 1, 2 and 4

Explanation:

We cannot use common or general words in science, so we specifically use scientific names of organisms, be it plants or animals.

Binomial nomenclature is used for naming organisms. It includes two parts:

• Genus name

• Species name

Species tell us the specific organism and Genus tells us about the group it belongs to.

1. Rule 1- Scientific names cannot be written as normal writing and should be italicized when typing or underlined when handwritten.

2. Rule 2- The Genus part of the scientific name always has its first letter in capital form.

3. Rule 3- The species part is not in capital form, it contains all small letters.

4. Rule 4- The species cannot be written without genus and genus can be abbreviated but not species.
