Question
Which of these statements is true about binomial nomenclature?
Correct Answer
Option E is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
In binomial nomenclature, the genus name is capitalized, and the species name is lowercase. Both names are typically italicized. However, if italics are not available (e.g., when handwritten), both names should be underlined to indicate their status as scientific names.
Hint
Recall the conventional formatting rules for scientific names, especially when italics are not used.
