The Significance and Functionality of Scientific Names in Organism Identification

scientific name

a two-part unique name, consisting of a genus name (capitalized) followed by a species name (lowercase) and is written in italics (ex: Ailurus fulgens)

A scientific name is a formal name given to an organism, typically comprising a binomial or binominal name, consisting of two parts, the genus name and the species name. The scientific name is used to identify a particular organism and is universally recognized and accepted worldwide. For example, the scientific name for humans is Homo sapiens, where “Homo” represents the genus and “sapiens” represents the species. The use of scientific names helps to avoid confusion between different common names given to the same organism in different regions or languages. It also facilitates communication and collaboration among scientists working in different parts of the world.
