Question

What is binomial nomenclature? Explain with example. Name the scientist who gave this system. What are the various convention followed while writing the scientific names?

Scientists use a two-name system called a Binomial Naming System. Scientists name animals and plants using the system that describes the genus and species of the organism. The first word is the genus and the second is the species. The first word is capitalized and the second is not.
