Verified by Toppr

Species refer to a group of organisms with fundamental similarities. A species is distinguished from the other closely related species based on distinct morphological differences. e.g., Mangifera indica (Mango), Solanum tuberosum (potato) and Panthera leo (lion). All the three names, Indica, tuberosum and leo, represent the specific epithets, while the first words Mangifera, Solanum and Panthera are genera. So, the correct answer is 'Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion'.
