What two names make up a scientific name?

Answer 1

There are actually 7 categories that make up a scientific name. To make it simple, people usually just say the last 2. The 7 categories are, in the order of broadest to most specific.

1. Kingdom

e.g. Animalia

2. Phylum

e.g. Chordata

3. Class

e.g. Mammalia

4. Order

e.g. Carnivora

5. Family

e.g. Felidae

6. Genus

e.g. Panthera

7. Species

e.g. Tigris

So, the above refers to the tiger (forgot which was it), therefore it's name would be Panthera Tigris.

Answer 2

genus and species

Answer 3

Genus name and species name.
