According to binomial nomenclature, how many words are mandatory in a scientific name?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Two

Correct answer: B, Two. The word “binomial” means “two names” or “two-part name.” In this system, the scientific name of an organism has two components: the genus name followed by the specific epithet. For example, in Homo sapiens, Homo is the genus and sapiens is the specific epithet. The genus begins with a capital letter, while the specific epithet begins with a lowercase letter; the complete name is usually written in italics. Option A is wrong because one word cannot show both parts. Option C is wrong because a third word is not mandatory in the basic binomial system. Option D is also wrong because four words are not required. Memory cue: “bi” means two, so binomial means two-part scientific name.
