What are some examples of binomial nomenclature?

Answer 1

Binomial nomenclature (literally means "two names") is the term we used to describe the Latin names that scientists have created for species. For example, human beings are Homo sapiens, where Homo is the genus and sapiens is the species. The domestic dog is Canis familiaris, the domestic cat is Felis catus. The same system is used for plants, as well. The genus is capitalized, and the species isn't. This system was created by a man named Carl von Linne, who was so enamored of it that he changed his name to Carrollus Linnaeus. The first name is always capitalized, while the second is never. It is always written in italics.

Answer 2

The double-naming system, or binomial nomenclature, is a method of classifying living matter by giving each individual entity a Latinized genus and species name - for instance a human being is a Homo sapiens and a potato is Solinum tuberosum. The first name indicates a group of related entities, the second name referring to a specific member of the group. The system was developed by Carl von Linne, who latinized his own name to Carolus Linneas, and is used to positively identify living things, one from the other. That is, while there might be other things with the genus name Solinum and there might be other things with the species name tuberosum, there is only one thing called Solinum tuberosum and that is the common potato.

Answer 3

Homo sapiens (humans), Canis lupus (gray wolf), Felis catus (domestic cat), Panthera leo (lion).

Answer 4

The Latin name, or linnean name. The two names represent genus and species. Ex homo sapien- Homo is the genus, sapien Is the species. This taxonomy was developed by carl Linnaeus .
