According to binomial nomenclature, what are the two parts of a scientific name?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Genus name and specific epithet

Correct answer: A, genus name and specific epithet. The word binomial means two names or two parts. In a scientific name such as Mangifera indica, Mangifera is the genus name and indica is the specific epithet. The genus begins with a capital letter, while the specific epithet begins with a lowercase letter; together they form the binomial name of the species. Option A is correct. Option B gives two higher taxonomic ranks, family and order, not the parts of a species name. Option C also lists ranks above genus. Option D lists kingdom and class, which are still higher categories. Do not confuse a specific epithet with the complete species name: the complete name includes both words.
