The common toad's scientific name is Bufo bufo, following binomial nomenclature where the genus name is capitalized and species is lowercase. This is the standard scientific classification used worldwide.

Homo sapiens is the correct binomial nomenclature for humans in the biological classification system. 'Homo' means human and 'sapiens' means wise. Options like hetero, uni, or bi are not valid genus names in the taxonomy.

Felis catus is the correct scientific name for the domestic cat. Felis is the genus (small cats) and catus is the species. The other options use made-up words like 'gotus', 'dogus', and 'magus'.

Naja naja is the correct binomial name for the common cobra. 'Naja' is the genus of cobras. The options 'aja', 'baja', and 'maja' are fictitious and not valid scientific names.

Canis lupus familiaris is the correct scientific name for the domestic dog. 'Canis' is the genus, 'lupus' is the species (wolf), and 'familiaris' is the subspecies. Options starting with 'banis', 'danis', and 'aanis' are misspelled and incorrect.

Moths are indeed attracted to light, a behavior called phototaxis. This is why moths gather around artificial lights at night, though scientists debate the exact reason for this behavior.

Rabbits and parrots have eyes positioned on the sides of their heads, giving them nearly 360-degree vision. This allows them to see behind themselves without turning their heads, an adaptation for detecting predators.

Plant genes are composed of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid), which is the primary molecule storing genetic information in cells. RNA (ribonucleic acid) plays important roles in gene expression and protein synthesis, but genes themselves are DNA sequences. The claim that genes are made of RNA is false.
