Which 2 taxonomic groups make up the scientific name of an organism? (Choose 2)OrderGenusSpeciesKingdomFamily

The scientific name of an organism is composed of two taxonomic groups: Genus and Species. This binomial nomenclature system, developed by Carl Linnaeus, helps in classifying and identifying organisms systematically.

The Genus is the first part of the name and indicates the larger group to which a species belongs, while the Species is the second part and identifies the specific organism within that genus. For example, in the scientific name Homo sapiens, Homo refers to the genus, and sapiens refers to the species. This two-part naming system ensures that each organism is uniquely identified, avoiding confusion that might arise from common names.
