Answer 1

Answer:

A system through which organisms, including plants, animals, microorganisms and other living things are given distinct scientific names is called Nomenclature.

In biology, each group of organisms, be it plants or animals or microorganisms, is already classified under special divisions, according to the similarities and features. Therefore these living organisms should also have a common naming system that makes it easier to understand them better.

A common system of naming is essential so that it makes it widely accepted throughout the world. And therefore there evolved a system called the binomial nomenclature. This helped to a great extent in maintaining the standardization in naming living things

Binomial Nomenclature is a two-term naming system that uses two different terms to name the species, plants, animals and living organisms. Binomial Nomenclature is also known as Binary Nomenclature. The two terms consist of a generic epithet which is genus (category) of that species, and specific epithet which indicates the species itself. This two-term naming system can also use some other different languages to create such scientific names. These scientific names are unique and help in identifying organisms anywhere in the world.
