If the number is in a certain data set, then that number is the average of that set. If ever the number in a certain data set is not the same, then the numbers must be gathered and computed to come up with just one number to represent them all. The method that is used the most is the arithmetic mean.
â¢ Genus is the first name, and the species is the second name of a scientific name of any organism. â¢ Genus ranks higher compared to species in the hierarchy of taxonomy. â¢ Two fertile animals from one species can produce a fertile progeny, whereas two animals from one genus could or could not do so.
This Linnaean system of classification was widely accepted by the early 19th century and is still the basic framework for all taxonomy in the biological sciences today. The Linnaean system uses two Latin name categories, genus and species, to designate each type of organism. A genus is a higher level category that includes one or more species under it. Such a dual level designation is referred to as a binomial nomenclature or binomen (literally two names in Latin). For example, Linnaeus described modern humans in his system with the binomen Homo sapiens, or man who is wise. Homo is our genus and sapiens is our species.
