which level of Hierarchy are considered while writing the name of Binomial Nomenclature
Answers
Binomial Nomenclature: All the living species are named using two terms. That is, they have two names. They are,
- A generic name which denotes the genus.
- A specific name which denotes the species.
Binomial nomenclature follows certain rules and is a formal way of naming the living organisms.
The first part is always the generic name and it always italicized and starts with a capital letter.
The second part is the species name and is italicized.
So, Generic name followed by specific name is the hierarchy.
Eg: Homo sapiens
The hierarchy is an arrangement of items in which the items are represented in a certain sequence.
Binomial nomenclature is actually a kind of naming system which is used for living things which is used by all scientists. According to this all the species has a dual-part scientific name.
The first part of a scientific name is called the genus which is the name for a small group of closely related organisms whereas the second part of a scientific name is the specific epithet which is used to identify certain species.
