Heya !!!

$\bf{Here \: is \: the \: answer : }$

✔✔ Scientific names are based on agreed principles and criteria, which are provided in International Code For Botanical Nomenclature (for plants) and International Code For Zoological Nomenclature (for animals)

✔ Biologists follow universally accepted principles to provide scientific names to known(discovered) organisms.

✴Each name has two components- The Generic Name and The Specific Epithet .This system of providing a name with two components is called Binomial Nomenclature.

✴ Biological names are Generally in Latin and written in italics .They are Latinised or derived from Latin irrespective of their origin.

✴The first word in a biological name represents The Genus Name while the second component denotes the Specific Epithet.

✴ Both the words in a biological name , when handwritten, are separately underlined or printed in italics to indicate their Latin Origin.
