Species are named scientifically using the method termed as the "Binomial Naming System".

EXPLANATION:

Scientists follow a "set of rules to name plants and animals" and they are known as the "binomial naming system".
"Binomial" means "made up of two words" and it describes the genus and the species of the organism.
The "first word" is the "genus", which is capitalized and the "second word" is the "species" which is not capitalized.
Genus is the "name of small groups" of "closely interacted organisms" and species is used to identify the particular species in that same genus.
For example, the "scientific name" for humans is "Homo sapiens", where Homo is the genus which is capitalized and sapiens is the species.
The abbreviation for this group is H. sapiens.

What might be some challenges of working in a forensic biology lab?

OleMash [197]

Answer/Explanation:

You would have to be very careful of cross-contamination. That means you would have to work very carefully and precisely with protective clothing, ensuring that none of your DNA (from skin or hair or even trace) gets into the sample you are working with
You would have to be very careful to check and record samples properly to ensure nothing got mixed up or mislabeled and this could be disastrous for criminal cases
All the material is very precious and sometimes only one sample exists, so you have to avoid making any mistakes. Experiments can't always be repeated.
