Taxonomy (biology), a branch of science that encompasses the description, identification, nomenclature, and classification of organisms.

In binomial nomenclature, the first name refers to the genus. The second part is a species name.

Binomial nomenclature is the formal naming system for living things that all scientists use. It gives every species a two-part scientific name. For example, a ladybug found in the United States goes by the fancy name of Harmonia axyridis. The first part of a scientific name, like Harmonia, is called the genus. A genus is typically the name for a small group of closely related organisms. The second part of a scientific name, axyridis in this example, is the specific epithet. It is used to identify a particular species as separate from others belonging to the same genus. Together, the genus plus the specific epithet is the full scientific name for an organism.

• Binomial Nomenclature is the system of providing organisms with appropriate and distinct names consisting of two words, first generic and second specific
• The generic word is also called genus and acts like a noun and its first letter is written in the capital form
• The specific epithet represents the species. It is like an adjective and its first letter is written in a small form
• So the correct option is 'genus and species'.

According to binomial nomenclature system, every individual is given a scientific name which includes two terms genus and species.
Lion belongs to Genus Panthera and species Leo.

The scientific name comprises of the genetic name followed by the specific name.

Carolus Linnaeus proposed the binomial nomenclature. The purpose of binomial nomenclature was to provide universal identification to the living organism. The system of nomenclature in which two terms are used to denote a species of living organism, the first one indicating the genus and the second the specific epithet is known as binomial nomenclature.
