Binomial System
-
A species is a group of organisms that are able to reproduce to produce fertile offspring
-
Binomials are the scientific names given to individuals species
-
Binomials consist of the organism’s genus and species name in modern Latin
-
For example, the binomial for humans is Homo sapiens and the binomial for dogs is Canis familiaris
-
Binomials are extremely useful for scientists as they allow for species to be universally identified – the binomial for a species is the same across the entire globe
Naming species
-
Species are often given common names, but these common names are often differ between countries and do not always translate directly between different languages
-
In order to avoid confusion about what group of organisms scientists are talking about, all species are given a two-part scientific name using the binomial system
-
This naming convention was developed and established by the Swedish scientist Carl Linnaeus in the 18th Century
-
The binomial name is always italicized in writing (or underlined if it is not possible to italicise)
-
For example:
-
The most commonly known yeast is Saccharomyces cerevisiae
-
It is common to abbreviate the genus name (e.g. S. cerevisiae)
-
Saccharomyces paradoxus is another species of that is a member of the same genus as cerevisiae
-
Examiner Tips and Tricks
The binomial for a species is always typed in italics or underlined when handwritten. The genus name should have a capital letter but the species name should not.
