Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Answer and Explanation: The proper way to write binomial nomenclature is to write the capitalized genus name of the organism first, followed by the species name in lower case. Both names should be italicized. For example, the scientific name for a human as written in binomial nomenclature is Homo sapiens.
Detailed explanation-3: -Binomial nomenclature is the system of describing a species using two identifiers: the name of the genus and the name of the species, in the form Genus species. The genus should be capitalized, and the species should not, even if the species name was derived from the name of a person or place.
Detailed explanation-4: -Scientific names are always italicized. The genus is always capitalized. The species is never capitalized, even when it refers to the name of a place or person. In its first use within a particular document, the genus is always written in full. More items
