Binomial Nomenclature

Science > Biology > General Biology > Diversity of Living Organisms > Binomial Nomenclature Biologists follow universally accepted principles to provide scientific names to known organisms. Each name has two components – the Generic name (genus) and the specific epithet (species name). Hence the system is called binomial nomenclature. We can compare the generic (genus) […]

Taxonomic Hierarchy

Science > Biology > General Biology > Diversity of Living Organisms > Taxonomic Hierarchy In this article, we shall study the taxonomic hierarchy and the concept of species. The Concept of Species: A group of living organisms consisting of similar individuals capable of exchanging genes or interbreeding is called species. They are usually described in […]
