About Scientific naming System

Scientific names also known as Binomial nomenclature is a Latin naming system that is divided into two parts; the first part described the genus that the species belongs to; and the second part is the name of the species of a particular genus. The first part of the naming system should be written in Capital letter and the second part written using non-capitalized letters.
