What is binomial nomenclature and what two categories are used in a binomen?

Binomial nomenclature is a system of using two names to identify a species, which are the genus and the species names. The genus name starts with a capital letter, but the species name is written in all lower case letters. The genus and species names should either be italicized (in print) or underlined (when handwritten). No two species on earth can have the same species name, but they can have the same genus name. Examples include the gray wolf (Canis lupus), the coyote (Canis latrans), and the domestic dog (Canus lupus familiaris). The gray wolf, the coyote, and domestic dog are in the same genera (plural for genus), but in different, unique species or subspecies (the domestic dog).
