Question

An example for Tautonymy is ---------------------

a. Naja naja
b. Corvus splendens splendens
c. Felis leolinn

Answer 1

Answer:

Tautonymy refers to having the same genus and species name. This can be seen in Naja naja or Indian cobra.

Tautonymy does not occur in plant species.

NOTE: Corvus splendens splendens does not show tautonymy because the species and sub species have the same name, not the genus and species.

A) NANA JANA

The practice of naming the animals or organisms, in which the generic name and species name are the same, is called Tautonymy. Ex : Axis axis – spotted dear. Naja naja – The Indian Cobra.
