Binomial Nomenclature Names Species

Steps:

• Recall that scientific names consist of two parts: genus and species epithet.
• Identify the naming convention as binomial, meaning "two names," established by Linnaeus.
• Eliminate options unrelated to two-part naming: classification is broader taxonomy, genus is one part, dichotomous key identifies via traits.
• Confirm binomial system specifically assigns unique two-word Latin names to species.

Why C is correct:

• Binomial nomenclature, per Linnaean taxonomy, uses a two-part name (genus + species) for precise, universal species identification.

Why the others are wrong:

• A: Classification system organizes life into hierarchies like kingdoms, not specific two-part names.
• B: Genus system refers only to the first name part, ignoring the full two-part structure.
• D: Dichotomous key system aids identification through paired choices, not naming.

Final answer: C
