Question

1. canis lupus (wolf), canis latrans (coyote), and canis familiaris (domestic dog) are examples of dog - like animals. canis refers to the genus, while lupus, latrans, and familiaris all refer to different species within the genus. what kind of naming scheme is this?

options:
○ common nomenclature
○ binomial nomenclature
○ hebrew nomenclature
○ arabic nomenclature

Explanation:

The naming scheme where each species is given a two - part name (genus + specific epithet, like Canis lupus, Canis latrans, Canis familiaris) is binomial nomenclature, which is the standard naming system in biology for classifying organisms. The other options (common, Hebrew, Arabic nomenclature) do not match this two - part scientific naming system.

binomial nomenclature (the option with "binomial nomenclature" text, as per the question's option list)
