Answer 1

Explanation:

According to binomial nomenclature, any species has two names generic and species name. Following are some of the major guidelines for scientific naming of plants and animals.

1. Every scientific name should have words either in Latin or be Latinized (i.e., follow Latin grammar).

2. The first word refers to the name of the genus and the second word to the name of the species.

3. The name of the genus should start with a capital letter and name of the species with a small letter.

4. Both the names should be printed in italics or else they should be underlined separately. For example, Felis leo or Felis leo.

So, the correct answer is 'Biological names can be written in any language'

Answer 2

Answer:

Option D: Generic and species names should be written starting with small letters.

Explanation:

ICBN is an international organisation which assign names to plants, algae, fungi. The headquarter of ICBN is in Netherlands. It has a predefined set of rules which are followed while assigning scientific names to plants, algae and fungi.

According to the ICBN-

• The genus name should be written first and it must be capitalized.

• After genus name, species name is written. Species names are always written in small letters.

• In case names are handwritten, they should be underlined.

• The complete name must be italicised.

• Example- Scientific name of human is Homo sapiens.

From above discussion it is clear that option D is against the rule of IBCN.
