Answer 1

Binomial nomenclature is the two-name system scientists use to name every living thing. The first name tells the genus (a group of related organisms) and the second name tells the species (the exact kind), and these names are usually in Latin so everyone uses the same words. It’s important because it helps scientists all over the world talk clearly about organisms without confusion from different common names.
