The scientific name of leopard is Panthera pardus. What relationship does it show with lion (Panthera leo)?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Both are members of the same genus

Correct answer: A. A binomial scientific name has two parts. The first word is the genus and begins with a capital letter; the second word is the specific epithet. In Panthera pardus and Panthera leo, the first word Panthera is identical, so leopard and lion belong to the same genus, Panthera. Their second words, pardus and leo, are different, so they are not the same species. They are related, but a shared genus does not mean they are identical organisms. B is wrong because the specific epithets differ. C is wrong because the common genus shows a taxonomic relationship. D is wrong because organisms placed in the same genus are grouped within the same family, Felidae. Memory cue: compare the first word to identify the genus.
