Solution

Botanist and naturalist Carl Linnaeus (1707–1778) published books that are now accepted as the beginning of binomial nomenclature. Biological names are written in Latin as it is a dead language and was the common language of science in Western Europe.

Nomenclature is governed by certain universal rules. Few of those rules are as follows:
1. The first word in a biological name represents the genus and the second is a specific epithet.
2.When written by hand the names are to be underlined and when in print they are italicised.
