Grade 6 Taxonomy

When Carolus Linnaeus set up classification, he used scientific names for each specific type of organism. These names are unique. A scientific name is made up of two names. The first is the            genus            name and the second is the             species            name. And he chose the            Latin            language for his names because it was widely known.
When writing a scientific name, it must be                 italicized                 or                 underlined                . The genus name must always be                  capitalized                 .
