In binomial nomenclature, the genus functions as a (n), and the species functions as a (n).

The correct answer will be-

1. Generic name

2. Species name

Explanation:

The concept of Binomial nomenclature was introduced by the Carolus Linnaeus who suggested that the name of an organism can be written in two terms or words.

The first word of the nomenclature will represent the genus of the organism and will be called generic name and the second word will represent the species within the genus called specific epithet or species name.

Thus, Generic name and Species name are the correct answer.
