B. Tow different organisms have the same genus and species name if they are closely related.
C. The genus name is different for closely related species
D. The species name is the same for each organism in a genus

Answer 1

The scientific system of naming organisms ensures that two different organisms never end up with the same genus and species name.

Step-by-step explanation:

The scientific system of naming organisms, also known as binomial nomenclature, ensures that two different organisms never end up with the same genus and species name.

Each organism is given a unique binomial name consisting of a genus name and a species name, which allows scientists worldwide to easily identify and refer to a particular organism. For example, the scientific name for the North American blue jay is Cyanocitta cristata, and the scientific name for humans is Homo sapiens.
