Question

Write advantages of scientific names (min 6)

Answer 1

The scientific names, of course, difficult to learn, have a number of advantages over the common names----

1-All hitherto known animals, plants and microorganism, irrespective of their utility, have been provided with scientific names. This has helped in classification. An animal, a plant or a microorganism without a name cannot be classified.

2-A newly discovered animal, plant or bacterium can be described or named.

3-Each kind of animal, plant or bacterium is given a single scientific name. This not only minimises the number of names one is required to learn in biology, but also eliminates the likely confusion of multiple naming.

4-An incorrect or inappropriate name can be easily set right.

5-The scientific names are universal, being used all over the world irrespective of the language of the people. A Russian student of biology knows what exactly Oryctolagus cuniculus stands for, and so does a Japanese or a German.

6-The scientific names indicate relationship of the species with other placed in the same genus.

7-The scientific names are often descriptive, indicating some important characteristic of the organism.

8-The scientific names are derived from Latin or Greek. Both of these are dead languages. Hence, there is less possibility of change in the meaning of their words.

Answer 2

Hi Friend,

Here is your answer,

1. Using scientific names different properties or characteristics of the organism can be obtained.

2. Each creature has only one scientific name, and each name refers to only one creature. This is the great advantage because it allows precision. 

3.The scientific naming system allows people to see the relationship between animals.

4.Scientific names are universal so followed all over the globe, however common or popular name changes with language or area location.

5.These names of scientific names are important because they allow people throughout the world to communicate unambiguously about animal species.

6.Scientific names are very useful as they allow scientists (and everyone else) to group animals together that possess similar features. The reason we cannot simply rely on common names is that the same name may be different depending on where you live, and will definitely be different with different languages.


Hope it helps you!
