Question

An animal with same generic, specific and subspecific names is
A) Man
B) Rabbit
C) Gorilla
D) Elephant

Answer 1

Hint:A biological system of formally naming species where the name consists of 2 parts generic and specific name is called Binomial Nomenclature.

Complete answer:
Linnaeus came up with binomial nomenclature. It is widely used by taxonomists in naming and identifying species around the globe.In binomial nomenclature the name of the species is typed in italics and underlined when handwritten. In an example like Yucca filamentosa . Yuca is the genus and filamentosa is the species. The genus always has the first letter as capital. Both are typed with space in between and underlined separately while writing on a paper. When the name of subspecies is included in the name, it is called a trinomen. It comes 3rd in the scientific name.

Let us analyse the options to find the correct answer
Option A: The scientific trinomen of a Man is Homo sapiens sapiens. Hence, this is an incorrect option.
Option B: Oryctolagus cuniculus algirus is the scientific trinomen of Rabbit. Hence, this is an incorrect option.
Option C: Gorilla gorilla gorilla is the scientific trinomen of Gorilla. This clearly shows that Gorilla has the same species, generic and sub species name. Hence, this is the correct option.
Option D: Elephas maximus indicus is the scientific trinomen of an Indian elephant. Hence, this is an incorrect option.

Thus, the correct answer is Option (C) Gorilla.

Note:Subspecies are a rank lower or a subgroup of species. They have different traits. It is a third part of a scientific name. Scientific names help people to communicate about the plant and animal species all over the world. It makes the study of species easier for the scientists. These names are set according to international rules which are accepted all around the globe.
