how does the classification and the scientific name differ
1 The scientific name of an animal has two parts, the genus and the species, and must be written in italics or underlined. 2  Animals are divided into vertebrates and invertebrates. 3  The classification system has groupings called phyla, classes, orders, families, genera and species.
The scientific naming system that is used world-wide today was originally devised by the Swedish naturalist Linnaeus. Linnaeus proposed a two-part naming system with names derived from Latin or Greek.
