An organism’s scientific name is composed of two parts: the Genus and the Species.

So, the correct answers are:

Genus

Species

The genus name is capitalized, and the species name is lowercase, and together they form the binomial nomenclature system used to uniquely identify organisms. If you have further questions or need more explanation, feel free to ask!
