OpenStudy (anonymous):

Binomial Nomenclature is basically how a species is named. Here are some rules: 1.genus comes before the species. 2.genus always capitalized and species are never capitalized. 3.genus and species are both italicized and under lined. 4.genus can stand alone but species can not stand alone. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binomial_nomenclature
