Questions: Question 8 (Mandatory) (2 points) You are reading an article about an outbreak of an infectious disease. Which of the following would you recognize as the full scientific name of the organism causing the disease, just because of the way that it's written? Anthrax staphylococcus Bacillus anthracis E. Coli

The answer is the third one: Bacillus anthracis.

Explanation for each option:

1. Anthrax: This is the name of the disease, not the scientific name of the organism causing it.
2. staphylococcus: This is a genus name, but it is not written in the correct scientific format (genus name should be capitalized, and it should include the species name).
3. Bacillus anthracis: This is the correct scientific name, written in the proper binomial nomenclature format (genus name capitalized and species name in lowercase).
4. E. Coli: This is a common abbreviation for Escherichia coli, but it is not the full scientific name and is not written in the correct format (the species name should be lowercase).

Summary: The full scientific name of the organism causing the disease, written in the correct format, is "Bacillus anthracis."
