Nomenclature is governed by certain universal rules. Which one of the following is contrary to the rules of nomenclature?

  1. The names are written in Latin and are italicised.
  2. When written by hand the names are to be underlined.
  3. Biological names can be written in any language.
  4. The first word in a biological name represents the genus name and the second is a specific epithet.

Answer

(3) Biological names can be written in any language.

Solution

As per NCERT, biological names are generally in Latin and written in italics; they are Latinised or derived from Latin irrespective of their origin.

∴ Names cannot be written in any language — statement (3) is contrary to the rules.

∵ Hand-written names are underlined separately, and the first word is the genus while the second is the specific epithet, statements (1), (2) and (4) follow the rules.

Answer: (3)
