Answer 2

Answer:

1. A hierarchical system is used for classifying organisms to the species level. This system is called taxonomic classification. The broadest classifications are by domain and kingdom; the most specific classification is by genus and species. The hierarchical groupings in between include phylum, class, family, and order.

2. Linnaeus established the practice of binomial nomenclature—that is, the denomination of each kind of plant by two words, the genus name and the specific name, as Rosa canina, the dog rose.

3. Binomial nomenclature follows certain rules and is a formal way of naming the living organisms. The first part is always the generic name and it always italicized and starts with a capital letter. The second part is the species name and is italicized. So, Generic name followed by specific name is the hierarchy

The entire two-part name must be written in italics (or underlined when handwritten).

•The genus name is always written first.

•The genus name must be capitalized.

•The specific epithet is never capitalized.
