Question

who proposed the binomial system of nomenclature? mention three merits and three demerits of the classification system.

Answer 1

Binomial nomenclature ("two-term naming system") also called binominal nomenclature("two-name naming system") or binary nomenclature, is a formal system of naming species of living things by giving each a name composed of two parts, both of which use Latin grammatical forms, although they can be based on words from other languages. Such a name is called a binomial name(which may be shortened to just "binomial"), a binomen, binominal name or a scientific name; more informally it is also called a Latin name. The first part of the name identifies the genus to which the species belongs

Answer 2

Carolus Linnaeus established the binomial system of nomenclature, though it was first proposed by Casper Bauhin in his book PINAX.
