Detailed explanation-3: -The scientific name of each species is made up of a generic name (generic epithet) and a specific name (specific epithet).

Detailed explanation-4: -Different species are identified by binomial nomenclature, which uses the last two taxonomic levels, genus, and species as the identifier of the organism.
