Which of the following is a correct name?
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
Scientific names are written using binomial nomenclature:
Genus name → first letter capitalized (Solanum)
Species epithet → all lowercase (tuberosum)
Author name (optional) → indicates who described the species (Linn. for Linnaeus)
Solanum tuberosum is correct in format but without author citation, is more complete.
Solanum Tuberosum is incorrect because the species name should not be capitalized.
