Question

What do you understand by binomial nomenclature? How do we write the names of organisms in this system? Give at least two examples?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Binomial nomenclature is the system of scientifically naming organisms developed by Carl Linnaeus. Linnaeus published a large work, Systema Naturae (The System of Nature), in which Linnaeus attempted to identify every known plant and animal. This work was published in various sections between 1735 and 1758, and established the conventions of binomial nomenclature, which are still used today. Binomial nomenclature was established as a way to bring clarity to discussions of organisms, evolution, and ecology in general. Without a formalized system for naming organisms the discussion of them, even between peers that speak the same language, becomes nearly impossible. The number of different colloquial names for a single species can be staggering.

Each scientific name in binomial nomenclature consists of two names, also called descriptors or epithets. The first word is the generic epithet and describes the genus that an animal belongs to. The second word is the specific epithet and refers to the species of the organism.

Examples are :

1. Felis concolor

    2.Homo sapiens, etc........

Answer 2

Binomial nomenclature is the formal naming system for living things that all scientists use. It gives every species a two-part scientific name. For example, a ladybug found in the United States goes by the fancy name of Harmonia axyridis. The first part of a scientific name, like Harmonia, is called the genus
