Question

List out various convention for writing scientific names on the basis of binomial nomenclature

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

A Biologist from all over the world follows a uniform set of principles for naming the organisms. There are two international codes which are agreed upon by all the biologists over the entire world for the naming protocol. They are:

International Code of Botanical Nomenclature (ICBN) – Deals with the biological nomenclature for plants.

International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (ICZN) – Deals with the biological nomenclature of animals.

These codes make sure that each organism gets a specific name and that name is globally identified.

The naming follows certain conventions. Each scientific name has two parts:

• Generic name

• Specific epithet

The rest of the binomial nomenclature rules for writing the scientific names of organisms include the following:

1. All the scientific names of organisms are usually Latin. Hence, they are written in italics.
2. There exist two parts of a name. The first word identifies the genus and the second word identifies the species.
3. When the names are handwritten, they are underlined or italicized if typed. This is done to specify its Latin origin.
4. The name of the genus starts with a capital letter and the name of the species starts with a small letter.

• the name of the genus begins with a capital letter.
• the name of the species begins with a small letter.
