The 2-part naming system developed by Linneus is known as:

• dichotomous key
• taxonomy
• binomial nomenclature
• classification

The study of how things are classified is known as:

• binomial nomenclature
• a dichotomous key
• taxonomy

The rules for naming an organism are:

• Capitalize Genus, lowercase species, underline or italicize entire word
• Capitalize both Genus and species, underline or italicize the entire word
• write it how ever you want
• Capitalize Genus, lowercase species, make the entire word in bold print
