More Information about: binominal nomenclature
Term binominal nomenclature
Explanation The generally accepted system of nomenclature, adopted by the International Congress of Zoology, by which the scientific name of an animal is designated by both a generic and a specific name: the system under which each species receives a name consisting of two words, of which the first is the generic name and the second is the specific name, e.g., Musca domestica.
