Question

why the binomial system of nomenclature is acceptable for biologist all over the world?

Answer 1

Hey ,
Binomial nomenclature is a method of naming an organism by which it gives every species a two part name.The first part is the name of the genus to which the organism belongs and the second part is the species of the genus. It is acceptable for biologists because different countries all over the world have different languages and so different species and therefore by having a specific name it becomes easier and also avoids confusion.
Hope it helps you...

Answer 2

Explanation:

(a) Polynomial system was found cumbersome. It mostly changed from scholar to scholar. So, Carolus Linnaeus (1758) devised a shorthand designation, binomial (L.bi = two; nomen = name),for each species.

(b) The bionomial system became common. The scientific name of mango is Mangifera indica. There are two words in Latin. Mangifera shows the Genus and indica the species. Likewise, the honeybee is known as Apis mellifera.

(c) Every scientific name has a first word for genus followed by a second word denoting the species. Hence, binomial nomenclature is the system of scientific naming of an organism using ‘genus’ as the first part and ‘species’ as the second part as stated by Carolus Linnaeus.
