Scientific Names of Plants and Animals

Homo sapiens meaning wise man is the scientific binomial name for modern humans in the taxonomic classification system. This name was assigned by Carl Linnaeus in 1758 distinguishing humans from other hominids and primates in the animal kingdom.

Felis Domesticus is the binomial scientific name for the domestic cat under biological classification. Rana hexadactyla is a frog species, Naja naja is the Indian cobra, and Upapa epops is a hoopoe bird.

Canis familiaris is the binomial scientific name for the domestic dog. The other options are scientific names for different organisms: Musca domestica (housefly), Bombyx mori (silkworm moth), and Corvus splendens (house crow).

Rana hexadactyla is a valid scientific name for certain frog species. The other options are all wrong organisms: Periplaneta americana is a cockroach, Homo sapiens is humans, and Musca domestica is the housefly. When identifying scientific names, look for the genus (first word) that matches the organism type - Rana is the frog genus.

Musca domestica is the correct scientific name for the common housefly. The other options include plants (Ficus religiosa - peepal tree, Hibiscus rosa-sinensis - hibiscus, Cajanus cajan - pigeon pea) and a bird (Corvus macrorhynchos - jungle crow). The genus 'Musca' identifies it as a fly.

Pavo cristatus is the correct scientific name for the Indian Peafowl (peacock). The other options are all wrong: Ananas comosus is pineapple, Canis familiaris is dog, Mangifera indica is mango, and Lens esculenta is lentil. The genus 'Pavo' identifies it as a peafowl, and 'cristatus' refers to the crest on its head.

Naja naja is the binomial scientific name for the Indian cobra species. The other options are scientific names for different organisms: Zea mays (corn), Lens esculenta (lentil), Solanum tuberosum (potato), and Upapa epops (hoopoe bird).

Earth's escape velocity is approximately 11.2 km/s. Option B (11.186 km/s) is the most accurate value and uses correct units (km/s). Options C and D use m/s which would be far too slow.
