question 2 1 pts based on their scientific name, you know that african bush elephants, or loxodonta africana, and african forest elephants, or loxodonta cyclotis, belong to the same _______. family species class genus

Explanation:

In binomial nomenclature, the first part of a scientific name is the genus. African bush elephants (Loxodonta africana) and African forest elephants (Loxodonta cyclotis) share the same first part of their scientific name, "Loxodonta", which means they belong to the same genus. They are different species (different second part of the name), and while they are in the same family and class, the genus is directly indicated by the shared first name in binomial nomenclature.

Answer:

D. genus
