Question

the scientific name for polar bears is ursus maritimus. ursus is the dropdown and maritimus is the blank. options in dropdown: common name, genus, species. there is a done button with a checkmark.

Explanation:

In binomial nomenclature, the scientific name of an organism consists of two parts: the genus (first part, capitalized) and the species (second part, lowercase). For Ursus maritimus, "Ursus" is the genus, and "maritimus" is the species. The "common name" is the non - scientific, everyday name (like "polar bear"), so it's not applicable here for these blanks.

Answer:

First blank: genus
Second blank: species
