Answer:

Binomial nomenclature is a two word naming system using the genus as the first word and the species as the second word

Step-by-step explanation:

For example, using binomial nomenclature we can classify a maple tree as the genus "Acer". Since there are so many species of maple trees, they have different names all starting with Acer.

- Acer rubrum = Red maple

- Acer saccharum = Sugar maple

I hope this helps!!
