Detailed explanation-1: -Every recognized species on earth (at least in theory) is given a two-part scientific name. This system is called “binomial nomenclature.” These names are important because they allow people throughout the world to communicate unambiguously about animal species.
Detailed explanation-2: -The science of classifying living things is called taxonomy. Scientists classify living things in order to organize and make sense of the incredible diversity of life. Modern scientists base their classifications mainly on molecular similarities. They group together organisms that have similar proteins and DNA.
Detailed explanation-3: -Scientists use a two-name system called a Binomial Naming System. Scientists name animals and plants using the system that describes the genus and species of the organism. The first word is the genus and the second is the species. The first word is capitalized and the second is not.
