Question 8 • 2026 Summer 305 CR_2002040-M/J Comprehensive Science 1

What is the scientific name of a giraffe using binomial nomenclature?

Answer
A
Animalia Chordata
B
Giraffa camelopardalis
C
Artiodactyla Giraffidae
D
Mammalia Giraffa

Explanation

In binomial nomenclature, a scientific name has two parts: the genus name followed by the species name. A giraffe’s scientific name is Giraffa camelopardalis, so choice B is correct. The other choices combine broader classification groups rather than giving a genus-and-species name.
