Question

When writing an organism’s name using binomial nomenclature, what is the proper forum? (what is capitalized, what is lowercase, underlines, italicized, bold, etc.)

Answer 1

The binomial name will include the genus and species in that order. Both are italicized with the first letter of the genus being capitalized and the species being all lower case. For example:
Emperor Penguin = Aptenodytes forsteri (can’t italicize on this app but the scientific name would be)
