Question

question 16 which of the following does not describe botanical nomenclature? a uses genus and species to identify plants b binomial naming system c assigns plants with an informal name which cannot cross language barriers

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option based on botanical nomenclature:

• Option A: Botanical nomenclature uses genus and species (binomial nomenclature) to identify plants, so this is a characteristic.
• Option B: A formal naming system (like binomial nomenclature) is a key part of botanical nomenclature.
• Option C: Botanical nomenclature uses scientific (formal) names, and plants with informal names that can’t cross - language barriers is not a description of botanical nomenclature (since botanical names are standardized and cross - language).

Answer:

C. Assigns plants with an informal name which cannot cross language barriers
