Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that the binomial nomenclature is a formal system of naming species of living things by giving each a name composed of two parts.
Recognize that this system was developed by Carl Linnaeus and is used universally to provide a unique and consistent name for each species.
The first part of the name is the genus, which is a group of species that are closely related and share a common ancestor.
The second part of the name is the species identifier, which is specific to each species within the genus.
Therefore, the binomial system assigns to each organism a unique name that describes its genus and species.
