★ advantage of using scientific names instead of using common name ??



CONTENT ANSWER !! ​

Answer 1

• By using scientific names instead of common name , we can categorise, this helps in making it easier to understand the characteristics of a specific organism in an organised way.

• The genus name and species name of an organism written together are called its specific name.

• The name of the genus always begins with a capital letter.

• The species name begins with the small letter.

• The specific names are always italicised.

• When handwritten, the genus name and the species name have to be underlined.

• Examples -

1. Homo sapiens - Human beings.
2. Mangifera indica - Mango .
3. Rana tigrina - Frog.
4. Oryza sativia - Rice.
5. Canis lupus familaris - Dog.
6. Felis domestica - Cat.
7. Panthera leo - Lion.
8. Panthera tigris - Tiger.
9. Musca domestica - Housefly.
10. Helianthus annus - Sunflower.
