What are the rules of binomial nomenclature
  • 1 answers

Mandeep Kaur 3 years, 7 months ago

The rules of binomial nomenclature are as follows : 1) Biological names are generally in Latin and written in italics. They are latinised or derived from Latin irrespective of their origin. 2) The first word in a biological name represents the genus while the second component denotes the specific epithet . 3) Both the words in a biological name, when handwritten , are separately underlined , or printed in italics to indicate their Latin origin . 4) The first word denoting the genus starts with a capital letter while the specific epithet starts with a small letter . It can be illustrated with the example of Mangifera indica .
