What rule applies when a scientific name is handwritten?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Underlined separately

The correct answer is A: the two words of a handwritten scientific name are underlined separately. A binomial name has two parts: the genus name, which begins with a capital letter, and the specific epithet, which begins with a small letter. In printed text, the complete scientific name is usually written in italics. When italics are not possible, as in handwriting, each word is underlined separately to show that the name is a scientific binomial. A is correct because separate underlining replaces italics. B is wrong because bold type is not the required convention. C is wrong because all letters are not capitalized; only the genus initial is capitalized. D is wrong because the genus does not begin with a lowercase letter. Memory cue: handwritten binomial means underline both words separately.
