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'.
