Solution


Q.

Select the correctly written scientific name of Mango, which was first described by Carolus Linnaeus.               [2019]
1 Mangifera Indica  
2 Mangifera indica Car. Linn.  
3 Mangifera indica Linn.  
4 Mangifera indica  

Ans.

(3)

According to binomial nomenclature, the first word denoting the genus starts with a capital letter, while the specific epithet starts with a small letter.
E.g., the scientific name of mango is Mangifera indica. The name of the author appears after the specific epithet, i.e., at the end of the biological name, and is written in an abbreviated form.
E.g., Mangifera indica Linn.

It indicates that this species was first described by Linnaeus.
