Mangifera indica is the scientific name of which of the following organisms?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Mango

Direct answer: A, mango. Mangifera indica is the binomial scientific name of the mango plant. In a binomial name, the first word, Mangifera, is the genus and begins with a capital letter; the second word, indica, is the specific epithet and begins with a small letter. Together, the two words identify the mango species scientifically and avoid confusion caused by different common names. A is correct because mango belongs to the genus Mangifera and is identified by the specific epithet indica. B is wrong because potato has the scientific name Solanum tuberosum. C is wrong because tiger is Panthera tigris. D is wrong because modern humans are Homo sapiens. Scientific names are normally written in italics when printed, or both words are underlined separately when handwritten. Memory cue: Mangifera sounds like the mango genus; do not confuse it with Solanum, which includes potato.
