    What is binomial nomenclature?

    Question #114324. Asked by naveen_213. (Apr 25 10 8:45 PM)

    		The system of naming species. Each name is latin and has 2 parts. It is most often used in botany but is also used in zoology. Used as a more simple naming system than the 7 catagory system (kingdom-phylum-class-order-family-genus-species).
