Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -1. Scientific names are always italicized. When hand-writing text, you can underline them instead, but there is no excuse not to italicize when using a word processor. Example: use Bos taurus, not Bos taurus.
Detailed explanation-2: -The scientific names of species are italicized. The genus name is always capitalized and is written first; the specific epithet follows the genus name and is not capitalized. There is no exception to this.
Detailed explanation-3: -The most commonly used font is Helvetica. Max Miedinger, a Swiss designer, initially created Helvetica in 1957. Designed to be simple to read, the font immediately gained popularity. It is named after the Latin term for Switzerland, Helvetia.
