In binomial nomenclature, what does the second name represent?

  • A.Species
  • B.Order
  • C.Kingdom
  • D.Class

Answer: A

It represents the species.

The second word is the specific epithet, written in lower case, and it identifies the species within its genus. It is never used alone - sapiens means nothing without Homo.
