giving each type of organism a genus and species name. In this system, each species is
assigned a two-part name; first part of the name of each animal represents genus and second
word denotes species epithet. Anatomy is the branch of science concerned with the bodily

for a more limited geographic area, Pandemic refers to an epidemic that has spread over
several countries or continents, usually affecting a large number of people.
32. Palaeontology deals with the study of (a) Bones (b) Fossils (c) Rigid cells (d) Wings
