(N/A) Binomial nomenclature is a system of providing a distinct scientific name to organisms,consisting of two components: the first name represents the genus and the second name represents the species. This ensures that an organism has a unique name recognized globally,avoiding confusion caused by local or common names.
$(b)$ The system of binomial nomenclature was introduced by Carolus Linnaeus.
$(c)$ Two conventions followed while writing scientific names are:
$(i)$ The genus name begins with a capital letter,while the species name begins with a small letter.
$(ii)$ When printed,the scientific name is written in italics; when handwritten,both the genus and species names are underlined separately.
