Answer 2

A scientific name is a taxonomic name of an organism that consists of the genus and species. Scientific names usually come from Latin or Greek. A common name is a name by which a species is known to the general public, rather than its taxonomic or scientific name. For example “Tyto alba”, is the scientific name. While “Barn Owl” is the common name.
