''Scientific names of organism''
The scientific name of an organism is a binomial name, consisting of two parts: genus and species. A generic name is a general name that unites all species of the same genus. The species name identifies a specific species.
Scientific nomenclature is a binomial naming system developed by Carl Linnaeus in the 18th century. This system is accepted by biologists worldwide and is an important part of biology.
