Current Question (ID: 11778)

Question:

Both the words in a biological name when handwritten are underlined or printed in italics to indicate :-

Options:

1. They are endangered
2. They are living
3. Their latin origin
4. Now they are extinct

Solution:

In biological nomenclature, the two words in a biological name (i.e., the genus and species names) are typically underlined when handwritten or printed in italics to indicate that they are of Latin origin. This convention is followed to differentiate the genus and species names from the rest of the text and to indicate that they are scientific names derived from Latin or Latinized words. This helps in standardizing and identifying the unique names assigned to different organisms in the field of taxonomy, which is the science of naming, describing, and classifying living organisms. The use of underlining or italics for genus and species names is a widely accepted convention in biological literature and helps in maintaining consistency and accuracy in scientific communication.
