True. The first part of an organism's scientific name is its genus, and the second part is its species. This naming system is known as binomial nomenclature, developed by Carl Linnaeus in the 18th century to provide a standardized way of naming and categorizing living organisms. The genus represents a group of closely related species, while the species name represents a particular organism within that genus. For example, in the scientific name Homo sapiens, "" is the genus and "sapiens" is the species. To determine the scientific name of an organism, taxonomists use various characteristics, such as physical traits, behavior, and genetic information, to determine its classification within the Linnaean system.
