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.
Scientific names. At the simplest level of scientific classification, each plant has a name made up of two parts, a generic (or genus) name and a specific name or epithet. Together, these two names are referred to as a binomial. A generic name is a âcollective nameâ for a group of plants. It indicates a grouping of organisms that all share a suite of similar characters. Ideally these should all have evolved from one common ancestor. The specific name, allows us to distinguish between different organisms within a genus.
