Genus and species

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Recall the definition and structure of binomial nomenclature
Binomial nomenclature is the standard biological system for assigning a two-word scientific name to each organism.
Understanding the naming convention defines which hierarchical levels are paired together.
2
Identify the specific taxonomic ranks used in the two-part name
The first word is the genus (capitalized) and the second word is the species epithet (lowercase).
This uses the two most specific classification levels to uniquely designate an individual organism.
