8. What does the first word in the two-word scientific name of a species represent?


Sagot :

Genus

scientific name for tiger : Panthera Tigris

Panthera is the Genus name
Tigris is the Species name

generic name
1. Species names are binominal (i.e., consist of two words). The first word is the generic name. The second word has been called "specific name" or "specific epithet" -- but it is not the species name.
