Answers
Explanation:
In 1973 Carl Linnaeus, a practical Swedish biologist classified species into two names, one is genus and other is a specific name. Like Homo sapiens, which stands for humans. In this homo is genus and sapiens is a specific name. Let us tell you that the classification of living things whether animals or birds into the scientific name is important for better communication and also provides necessary information.
Therefore, to recognize easily zoological names are written in a standard form. Rules for writing it are as follows:
- The genus name is written first and always starts with the capital letter.
- The specific is the second name which starts with the lower-case letter. In this way, we can see the hierarchy between genus and species.
