What part of a scientific name is the species?

Answer 1

A scientific name of an organism contains two parts. The first name is the genus name and the second name is the species name. There are some simple rules in writing a scientific name:

a). The first letter of the Genus name must be capitalized.

b). The first letter of the species name is not capitalized.

c). Both names must be underlined or italicized.

I believe that would make the Genus the most important part of the scientific name of an organism.

Answer 2

The most specific level in taxonomy (classification of living things) is the species.

Using binomial nomenclature, an organism is defined by its unique genus-species combination, and possibly further by a subspecies (animals), or by a variant or form(plants)

Answer 3

The species is the second part of a scientific name. In binomial nomenclature, each organism is given a unique two-part name consisting of the genus name (first part) followed by the species name (second part).

Answer 4

The name after the genus is the species.
