Minerals are a kingdom with plants and animals and have a genus species name.
Aristotle grouped living organisms as either being plants or animals.
The accurate statements regarding the history of classification are:
1. Every living organism has a genus species name with the first letter of the genus name capitalized and the species name all lower case.
Explanation: This statement describes the proper format for binomial nomenclature, which is the standard naming system for organisms.
2. Carolus Linnaeus developed a two-part naming system called binomial nomenclature, using a genus species name for all living organisms.
Explanation: Linnaeus indeed created this system, which categorizes living organisms into a two-part Latin name structure, consisting of the genus and species.
3. Aristotle grouped living organisms as either being plants or animals.
