∙ 15y agoIn a scientific name, the organism's genus and specie are taken into account. The genus comes first and the first letter is capitalized. Often times, only the first letter of the genus is taken. The specie comes next and it is all lower cased. The scientific names are often times italicized.
Ex: Homo sapienor H. sapien Where Homo is the genus and sapien is the specie.

∙ 15y agoWell, for scientific names, it really depends on the apple. Here are some apples and their scientific name. Apple-Malus pumila Custard Apple-Annona glabra Sugar Apple-Annona squamosa Elephant Apple-Dillenia indica Velvet Apple-Diospyros blancoi Mountain Apple-Syzygium malaccense Pink Lady Apple-Syzygium Suborbiculare Granny Smith-Malus x domestica Fuji Apple- Apparently this one is a Malus pumila too? There are others but I don't think you want to know every single one. As for a common name, the only one I know of is apple. Sorry, I probably wasn't very helpful but I'm generally not very good at these things

Why are scientific names used to describe organisms rather than common names?
Common names might not be as common as you think. Organisms can be known by several different common names, depending on when and where you are. Inversely, several different plants may be referred to with the same common name, depending on their similarities. Scientific names never change, and no two differing organisms have the same scientific name. This allows for a better understanding and grouping of organisms within the scientific community.

Common names, on the other hand, can vary across languages and regions, making them less precise and consistent. Having both scientific and common names helps ensure accurate and consistent identification and communication about plants.
