ICBN stands for
Show Hint
As per the biological classification, an organism is known by two names: a vernacular name and a scientific name. Vernacular name is used locally and it varies across geographical locations. The scientific name is used universally and does not change from place to place.
- International Code of Biological Naming
- International Code for Botanical Nomenclature
- International Class of Biological Nomenclature
- International Classification of Biological Nomenclature
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
ICBN stands for International Code of Botanical Nomenclature (ICBN).
ICBN is a set of rules and recommendations that deals with the formal botanical naming of plants. ICBN is independent of zoological nomenclature. The foundations of ICBN are given in a book written by C. Linnaeus named PhUosophia Botanica. The rank of species is the basic and relative order of the ranks of taxa are as: species, genus, tribe, family, order, series, class, division, and kingdom. The different ranks or categories have the following specific endings of their names division - phyla, class-ae, family-aceae.
International Code of Botanical Nomenclature (ICBN) is now known as ‘The International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants (ICN). The name was changed at the International Botanical Congress in Melbourne in July 2011.

- Given below are two statements: One is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R.
Assertion A: Members of subphylum vertebrates possess notochord during the embryonic period. The notochord is replaced by a cartilaginous or bony vertebral column in the adult.

- An oxygen cylinder of volume 30 litre has 18.20 moles of oxygen. After some oxygen is withdrawn from the cylinder, its gauge pressure drops to 11 atmospheric pressure at temperature \(27^\circ\)C. The mass of the oxygen withdrawn from the cylinder is nearly equal to: [Given, \(R = \frac{100}{12} \text{ J mol}^{-1} \text{K}^{-1}\), and molecular mass of \(O_2 = 32 \text{ g/mol}\), 1 atm pressure = \(1.01 \times 10^5 \text{ N/m}^2\)]

Concepts Used:
The Living World
- The living world includes a vast variety of living organisms like plants, animals, and even microorganisms that exist on the earth.
- These organisms also differ in size, color, habitat, physiology, and morphology.
- Biologists have developed certain rules and principles supplementary which are helpful in the identification, nomenclature, and classification of organisms.
- Such rules and principles lie in Taxonomy.
- The taxonomic studies are very helpful and useful in specific fields like forestry, industry, agriculture, and for knowing our bio-resources.
- All discovered living organisms are being named so that they are known by the same name throughout the world.
- Each biological name is a collection of a generic name indicating the genus of an organism and a specific name that indicates the species.
