Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -The scientific name of a genus is a noun in the singular. The scientific name of a species is a binomen (i.e., consists of two words). The scientific name of a subspecies is a trinomen (i.e., consists of three words). The names of genera, species and subspecies are conventionally underlined or placed in italics.

Detailed explanation-3: -A scientific name contains information about an organism’s genus and species. Eg: the scientific name of the tiger is Panthera tigris. In this name, the genus is Panthera and the species is tigris.
