The two terms used for an organism's binomial name are the genus and species names. Together, these two terms create a unique scientific name for each species, following the binomial nomenclature system established by Carolus Linnaeus.
The two classification categories used for the scientific name of an organism are genus and species. This system is known as binomial nomenclature. For example, in Homo sapiens, "Homo" is the genus and "sapiens" is the species.
Usually the genus and species names are used to identify different organisms.
Linnaeus's major contribution to organism classification was the development of a system of binomial nomenclature, where each species is given a two-part Latin name consisting of the genus and species. This system is still used today and forms the basis of modern taxonomy.
The Binomial nomenclature of an organism includes its Genus and species, and may, if applicable, include Subspecies/variety and breed/subvariety.For example: Canis lupus, the Gray Wolf, and Canis lupus familiaris "Otterhound" the Otterhound (domestic dog).
In the system scientists use to identify organisms, "bi" refers to the division of classification into two groups, such as in binomial nomenclature, which uses two names to designate an organism's genus and species. "Name" is the second part of binomial nomenclature, representing the specific epithet that further identifies the species within a genus. Together, these components help scientists accurately classify and differentiate among organisms.
binomial system
In science, binomial often refers to a classification system called binomial nomenclature, which is used to name species. This system assigns each organism a two-part Latin name comprising its genus and species. For example, humans are classified as Homo sapiens.

Genus and Species
This is the system of binomial nomenclature introduced by Linnaeus. Here the two terms used are the species name and genus name. While the genus name refers to the group in which the organism is present, the species name is unique for the specific organism.
species and genus are the two categories used during binomial naming of an organism.

Binomial nomenclature is used to identify a specific organism, consisting of the genus and species names.
Binomial nomenclature is the system used to name species with a two-part Latin name. A taxon is a group of organisms that share similar characteristics and are classified at a specific level, such as genus or family. Each organism belongs to a specific taxon based on its characteristics, and binomial nomenclature helps to precisely identify and classify organisms within these taxonomic groups.
Such a name is called a binomial name or a scientific name. The generic name or the initial part of the name highlights the genus to which an organism belongs. The second part, or the specific name, identifies the exact species under which the organism falls, within the genus.
Usually the genus and species names are used to identify different organisms.
