Explanation:

Binomial nomenclature or binary nomenclature is a scientific system of naming living organisms.

In this system there are two words in a name, the first word is the genus to which the organism belongs and the second word is its species.

These names are generally italicized and underlined. The first alphabet of the name of the genus is capitalized.
