Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -A scientific name typically consists of two parts-the generic name and the specific epithet, which are simply the genus and species names respectively. It does not provide information about the family of the organism. For example, the scientific name of humans is Homo sapiens.
Detailed explanation-2: -The generic name is the genus to which the species belongs, and the specific epithet refers to the species within that genus. For example, in the name Homo sapiens, Homo is the genus and sapiens is the specific epithet.
