Question

question 1
what is the binomial system of nomenclature?
a system for classifying microorganisms based on the disease they cause
a system for classifying all living organisms using two terms
a system for classifying only eukaryotic organisms according to their cellular structure
a system for classifying only prokaryotic organisms according to their growth requirements
a system for classifying only non - cellular particles (such as viruses) according to their structure

question 2
which of the following correctly represents a scientific name in the binomial system of nomenclature?
saccharomyces cerevisiae
saccharomyces cerevisiae
saccharomyces cerevisiae
saccharomyces cerevisiae
saccharomyces cerevisiae

Explanation:

• Question 1: The binomial system of nomenclature, developed by Carl Linnaeus, uses two - part names (genus and species) for all living organisms. It is not limited to microorganisms (based on disease), only eukaryotes (by cellular structure), only prokaryotes (by growth requirements), or only non - cellular particles (by structure).
• Question 2: In the binomial system, the genus name is capitalized, the species name is in lowercase, and the entire name is either italicized or underlined. "Saccharomyces cerevisiae" follows this rule. "Saccharomyces Cerevisiae" has an incorrect capitalization for the species. "SACCHAROMYCES CEREVISIAE" has incorrect capitalization (both should not be in all caps). "saccharomyces cerevisiae" has an incorrect capitalization for the genus.

Answer:

• Question 1: A system for classifying all living organisms using two terms
• Question 2: Saccharomyces cerevisiae
