Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Every species would get a name consisting of two words: the first word was the genus, and the second word was a specific epithet, and that couplet would together uniquely identify the species.
Detailed explanation-2: -The first word in the scientific name is the generic name (represents the genus) and the second word is the specific epithet (represent species name).
Detailed explanation-3: -Species names are binominal (i.e., consist of two words). The first word is the generic name. The second word has been called “specific name” or “specific epithet”–but it is not the species name. Both words together are the species name.
