Explanation
Binomial nomenclature means naming an organism with two words. The first word represents the genus and the second word represents species. The first letter of the genus is always written in capital letters and the first letter of the species in small letters. The names are always written in the Latin language as they are mostly derived from Latin and Greek. These are italicized in the font. If written with the hand they are underlined. These can't be written in any other languages as these are rules followed worldwide in nomenclature.
