Question

canis lupus (wolf), canis latrans (coyote), and canis familiaris (domestic dog) are examples of dog - like animals. canis refers to the genus, while lupus, latrans, and familiaris all refer to different species within the genus. what kind of naming scheme is this?
common nomenclature
arabic nomenclature
hebrew nomenclature
binomial nomenclature

Explanation:

Binomial nomenclature is the scientific naming system where each species is given a two - part name: the first part is the genus name (e.g., Canis) and the second part is the species name (e.g., lupus, latrans, familiaris). In this example, the naming of wolf (Canis lupus), coyote (Canis latrans), and domestic dog (Canis familiaris) follows this two - part (genus + species) naming scheme. Common nomenclature is just the common, non - scientific name. Arabic and Hebrew nomenclature are not related to this type of scientific naming of species.

Answer:

D. binomial nomenclature
