Simply because every species has its own unique individual name. For example - the Burmese & Indian pythons look very similar, but they have different characteristics, and physical appearance. Hence they are identified as two separate species. They are distinguished by their Latin names 'Python molurus bivittatus' for the Burmese python, and 'Python molurus molurus' for the Indian python. Being a reptile-keeper - I would know just by looking at those Latin names on vivariums, which species was which.

What is the necessity of naming animals with scientific names?
Scientific names are important for two reasons. (1) There are so many species of animals in the world that scientific names are the one unique name for that one unique species and (2) through scientific names, you can see how the different species of animals are related. Black squirrels and red squirrels aren't the same species, but they're related and their scientific names reflect this.
What is the binomial nomenclature system used to assign two names to species based on their characteristics?
The binomial nomenclature system is used to assign two names to species based on their characteristics.
Scientific names are usaually in one of these two languages?
Scientific names are usually in Latin or Greek. These languages are used in taxonomy to ensure that species names are universal and consistent across different languages and countries.
What does the biominal name consist of?
Two names (the genus and the species)
What determines whether two species are in the same genus?
Two species are typically placed in the same genus based on shared physical characteristics, genetic similarities, and common evolutionary ancestry. Taxonomists consider a combination of these factors when determining the classification of species into different genera.
Why are the parents of a hybrid (like a liger) considered two different species?
The parents of a hybrid, like a liger, are considered two different species because they belong to distinct species with different genetic makeups and characteristics. When two different species reproduce, their offspring inherit a mix of traits from each parent, making them a hybrid of the two species.
Can two different species of fish mate and how do you tell if they are male or female?
I would stick to breeding the same species of fish. When two different types are bred, sometimes the young are unable to survive, since the parents are so different. To tell the gender, usually a male fish will have a longer annal fin then the female. But this does not always work. I would ask your vet or an assistant at the fish store at which you bout your fish. They are specially trained to tell the differences.
Two different species of mosquito have different body structures. Both of these species have DNA that tell their bodies how to grow. How can DNA produce two very different species?
different organism have dna with nucleotide base in a different order
What scientific names of organism's consist of?
Two names (the genus and the species) In chemistry. Orgasm and onanism.
What are two problems with common names?
Because the same common names are used to describe different plants... which may be similar to each other or wildly different. The scientific names of plants are specifically designed to identify a particular species clearly and unambiguously.
What are family genes and species names of the two different rhinos found in South Africa?
In South Africa, the two different species of rhinos are the Southern White Rhino and the Black Rhino. The family for both species is Rhinocerotidae. The scientific name for the Southern White Rhino is Ceratotherium simum, while the Black Rhino is classified as Diceros bicornis.
