Multiple Choice Question
In botanical nomenclature, a binomial name in which the generic name and the specific epithet are exactly the same (e.g., Malus malus) is called a:वानस्पतिक नामकरण में, एक द्विपद नाम जिसमें जेनेरिक नाम और विशिष्ट विशेषण (specific epithet) बिल्कुल समान होते हैं (जैसे, Malus malus), क्या कहलाता है?
Explanation:
A Tautonym has identical generic and specific names. While permitted in zoological nomenclature (e.g., Naja naja), tautonyms are strictly prohibited in botanical nomenclature.
