Detailed explanation-1: -To summarize, these are the rules of writing scientific names. There are two words, hence this system of naming organisms is called binomial nomenclature. The first word is the name of the genus, and the second word is the species name.

Detailed explanation-2: -Scientific name consists of two parts. The first is genus name and second is species name. It is always written in italics (if typed) or underlined (handwritten). The first letter of genus name is always capitalized. However, the first letter of species is not capitalized.

Detailed explanation-3: -The classification system commonly used today is based on the Linnean system and has eight levels of taxa; from the most general to the most specific, these are domain, kingdom, phylum (plural, phyla), class, order, family, genus (plural, genera), and species.

Detailed explanation-4: -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.
