Which one of the following statements is not true about the universal rules of binomial nomenclature?

Solution & Explanation

Related Formula

Binomial Nomenclature Rules: First word = Genus (capitalized) Second word = Specific epithet (lowercase)

Core Logic

In binomial nomenclature, the first word denotes the Genus (starts with capital letter) and the second word denotes the Specific Epithet (starts with small letter). Option (3) incorrectly reverses these roles.

Step 1: Selection

Statement (3) is NOT true. Option (3) is correct.

Pattern Recognition

First word = Genus, Second word = Species. Reversing them makes Statement 3 false.
