The system of binomial nomenclature used in modern taxonomy employs Latinized scientific names consisting of a genus name and a species name. This allows for consistency and clarity in identifying and categorizing different organisms within the biological classification system.
The binomial nomenclature system is the system of naming species of living organisms. To write a species name, you must know its genus and its species. So, for example, a human is Homo sapien. The genus is Homo, and the species is sapien. The genus name is always capitalized.
The genus and species name for a bobcat is Lynx rufus.
Scientific names are formatted with a system called binomial nomenclature. It uses the genus and species names to depict identity and evolutionary characteristics of an organism. It is written as Genus species.
Genus and Species
Identifying organisms by their genus and species names is called binomial nomenclature. Each species is given a unique two-part scientific name, consisting of the genus name followed by the species name.
Two names (the genus and the species)
Binomial nomenclature (scientific names) include a genus name followed by a species name. These names are generally Classical (Latin or Ancient Greek) terms.
Latin, or modern languages conforming with the rules of Latin.
New species are scientifically named in a process that can take a long time. Each species is given a species name, a genera, a family and an order. As of 2014, more than 1.9 million species have been discovered and named in this way.
