Question

the generic name of the plant is placed ______.
a. first and begins with a small letter
b. first and begins with a capital letter
c. last and begins with a small letter
d. in the middle of the name, in parentheses

Explanation:

In binomial nomenclature (used for naming plants), the generic (genus) name is the first part of the scientific name and is capitalized, while the specific epithet (species name) is lowercase. So the generic name is placed first and begins with a capital letter.

Answer:

b. first and begins with a capital letter
