Question

which is the correct written form of the scientific name that uses the rules of binomial nomenclature?
○ felis domesticus
○ felis domesticus
○ fełis domesticus
○ felis domesticus

Explanation:

In binomial nomenclature, the genus name is capitalized and the species name is in lowercase, and both are italicized (or underlined in handwritten form). Let's analyze each option:

• "Felis domesticus": The genus "Felis" is capitalized, species "domesticus" is lowercase, and it's italicized (assuming the font here represents italics), which follows the rules.
• "Felis Domesticus": The species name "Domesticus" is capitalized, which is incorrect.
• "Feiis domesticus": The genus name is misspelled (should be "Felis"), so incorrect.
• "felis domesticus": The genus name is not capitalized, which is incorrect.

Answer:

A. Felis domesticus
