Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A name consists of two words: the generic name and the specific epithet. The generic name is the genus to which the species belongs, and the specific epithet refers to the species within that genus. For example, in the name Homo sapiens, Homo is the genus and sapiens is the specific epithet.

Detailed explanation-2: -Biology uses a convention known as binomial nomenclature to uniquely name the diverse organisms of our planet. The two parts of a scientific name are the genus, which is capitalized, and the species, which is not; both names are italicized.

Detailed explanation-3: -The binomial name consists of a genus name and specific epithet. The scientific names of species are italicized. The genus name is always capitalized and is written first; the specific epithet follows the genus name and is not capitalized.

Detailed explanation-4: -The scientific name of each species is made up of a generic name (generic epithet) and a specific name (specific epithet).
