The scientific name of a species is written in italics and includes which one of the following?
Basically there're two words, right? the first one is species, and the second is genus.


Basically they're both supposed to be italicised, but if you cannot write like that, underline them, using SEPARATE underlines. Capitalise the first letter of the first word [ie the species], and the genus is in lower case.


So the answer's D! (:
Reply:D) Is correct. This is known as binomial nomenclature. You write the genus to begin with a Capital Letter and then the specie with a lower case (both italicized)
