Question

what is the binomial nomenclature?​

Answer 1

Binomial nomenclature :-

In this system of naming, the name of each organism has two parts.

• The first part denotes the generic name
• The second part denotes the species (specific) name.

This naming system was proposed by Carolus Linnaeus.

Eg :- The scientific name of mango is Mangifera indica. Mangifera represents genus name and indica represents species or specific epithet.

Universal rules of nomenclature :-

1. Biological names are written in italics and are generally in Latin .
2. The first word represents genus and the second, the specific epithet/species
3. When hand-written, both the words are separately underlined.
4. The first word denoting the genus starts with a capital letter while the specific epithet starts with a small letter.

Eg :- Manihot utilisima.
