Question

Describe the Binomial system of classification.

Answer 1

According to the binomial system, all organisms are given two proper names.

The first is the generic name beginning with a capital letter whereas the second is the psecies naem starting with a small letter.

Both these names are underlined when written or italicised when printed.

Naming organisms using this systern avoids confusion among people all over the world.

Example -

Common name	Scientific name
Pea	Pisum sativum
Wheat	Triticum aestivum
Earthworm	Pheretima posthuma
Lion	Panthera leo
