What is the proper way to write a species name in Linnaean taxonomy?
-
Italicized with the genus capitalized
-
Italicized with the species name capitalized
-
Not italicized and fully capitalized
-
In quotation marks
That's Correct!
It's Wrong!
The proper way to write a species name in Linnaean taxonomy is to italicize it with the genus name capitalized, followed by the species name in lowercase. For example, the scientific name for humans is written as "Homo sapiens," with "Homo" representing the genus and "sapiens" representing the species.
