which two subgroups are included in an organism's scientific name
. Species are organisms that can breed to produce fertile offspring. Species are named by using a system called âbinomial nomenclature.â Names in binomial nomenclature are âscientific names,â consisting of genus and species names written in Latin.For example, humansâ scientific name is Homo sapiens.The genus name is always initial cap, the species is always lower-case, and the entire name is written in italics to indicate it is in a foreign languageâin this case, Latin. This is the smallest classifying group.or example, humansâ scientific name is Homo sapiens.
