Answer 1

The correct option is: The name must include the genus and species of the new organism. It must be written in italics with the species name lowercase.

Species names have two parts, the genus, which could be shared by many species and the specific name, which is unique to each species. Species names are in italics, cause they are in a foreign language, latin. For example, Homo sapiens.
