Question

based on their scientific name, you know that african bish elephants, or loxodonta africana, and african forest elephants, or loxodonta cyclotis, belong to the same _______. family species class genus

Explanation:

In binomial nomenclature, the scientific name of an organism consists of the genus (first part) and the species (second part). For African bush elephants (\(Loxodonta\) africana) and African forest elephants (\(Loxodonta\) cyclotis), the first part of their scientific names (\(Loxodonta\)) is the same, which represents the genus. So they belong to the same genus.

D. genus
