Carolus Linnaeus developed a naming system calledbinomial nomenclature
.

Answer 10

yes yes, u know how taxnomy classifies into different categories

so binomial nomenclature use genus and species (which are the last 2 groups in taxonomy) to name an organism

so by looking at the name, u can tell which organisms are in the same species, and determine which and which are closest related
