What does underlining both words separately indicate when writing a scientific name?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Their Latin origin

Direct answer: A, their Latin origin or latinised form. Scientific names are conventionally written in italics when printed. When handwritten, the genus and specific epithet are underlined separately to show that the two-word name is a scientific, Latinised name. A is correct because separate underlining is the handwritten convention associated with the Latin or latinised form of the name. B is wrong because underlining does not record the year in which an organism was discovered. C is wrong because it does not identify the organism’s geographical distribution. D is wrong because it says nothing about economic usefulness or value. The two words are underlined separately, not as one continuous line, because each word is an independent part of the binomial name. Memory cue: printed name is italic; handwritten name is separately underlined.
