Binomial Nomenclature
This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.
State
Binomial nomenclature names each species with two italicized terms, genus followed by species, giving every organism one standardized two-part name.
Show
Canis lupus is the two-part scientific name combining genus Canis with species designation lupus for the gray wolf.
Watch for
A binomial name's genus is capitalized and its species term is not, both italicized — a fixed convention, not a stylistic choice.
