What are a few advantages of the binomial system of naming organisms?

Answer 1

The main advantage of binomial nomenclature is that all speakers of all languages accept it. Another advantage is that every name is unique to a single species and the name can easily be used to distinguish the details of a particular species.

Answer 2

The value of the binomial nomenclature system derives primarily from its economy, its widespread use, and the stability of names it generally favors:

* Clarity. It avoids the confusions that can be created when attempting to use common names to refer to a species. Common names often differ even from one part of a country to another part, and certainly vary from one country to another. In contrast, the scientific name can be used all over the world, in all languages, avoiding confusion and difficulties of translation.

* Stability. The procedures associated with establishing binomial nomenclature tend to favor stability. Even though such stability as exists is far from absolute, it is still advantageous. For example, when species are transferred between genera (as not uncommonly happens as a result of new knowledge), if possible the species descriptor is kept the same. Similarly if what were previously thought to be distinct species are demoted from species to a lower rank, former species names may be retained as infraspecific descriptors.

Despite the rules favoring stability and uniqueness, in practice a single species may have several scientific names in circulation, depending largely on taxonomic point of view

Answer 3

1.Well the names given to the organism can be used all over the world in every nation.

2.It carries information on relationship

3.It's a shorthand way of talking about an organism

4.It was given by early Latin scientists and is precise by the classification that species or organism belongs.

Answer 4

1- It classified bacteria and organisms in a specific way.

2- It allowed everyone to see the grouping relationships between organisms.
