Precise determination of species and clarity of communication.
They are more exact. Often there is more than one common name but usually only one scientific name.For example a clown fish is a common name for many different type of fish.
However if I say Amphiprion ocellaris, then it means only one thing.
Scientists use scientific names (Binomial nomenclature) because there may be several different common names for the same thing; for example, scallions and green onions for plants of the genus Allium. In addition, different languages use different words for the same plant or animal, such as Hindi haldi for the English turmeric (Curcuma longa). That's why Latin scientific names are useful: they can be useful internationally.
Binomial nomenclature is to eliminate confusion. Organisms can have more then one name, or more then one organism can have the same name, so by giving them a scientific name, the confustion can be eliminted. Also becuase Latin (and sometime Greek) is a universal languge for science and math, so scientists from different countries can understand each other.
Because common names vary from country to country and even from region to region, while binomial classification keeps the unity og naming uniform from country to country so scientists can talk to each other and be on the some taxonomic page. Binomial classification also better represents the nested hierarchies of classified organisms.
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. By using the same binomial name in latin we can ensure that all scientists no matter where they come from will be talking about the same organism.
Because the common names aren't very descriptive.
So we can better understand it.

The scientific name is important in biology because the other names, the common names, are not specific. They often refer to more than one species. It is important in science to be specific, otherwise your results are worthless.
A scientific nomenclature for a plant or animal is universally accepted in the scientific community, and relates to that plant or animal only (though may be changed if studies reveal new information). Several common names can be used for the same plant or animal depending on where in the World.
The two advantages of using scientific names for organisms include their universality in the whole world since they are Latin, and no single organism can have more than one scientific name.
to help organize and understand its characteristics
The flatworm's scientific name (or at least its Phylum) is Platyhelminthes. I can't give you the real scientific name (which is the genus and species) because there are more than one species of flatworm.
Common names might not be as common as you think. Organisms can be known by several different common names, depending on when and where you are. Inversely, several different plants may be referred to with the same common name, depending on their similarities. Scientific names never change, and no two differing organisms have the same scientific name. This allows for a better understanding and grouping of organisms within the scientific community.
Because common names differ with language, while scientific names are always the same, no matter what language. Ex: Canis Lupis
Scientific names are very specific. The common names of many animals are just that, common. One common name may be the widely accepted name for multiple animals or plants. Common names for plants and animals also vary with region.
Scientific names provide a standardized and universally accepted way to identify and classify organisms, whereas common names can vary between regions and languages, leading to confusion. Additionally, scientific names reflect the evolutionary relationships between organisms, helping with biological studies and research.
Common names vary greatly from one location to another. One example is the mountain lion, also known as the puma and cougar, as well as several other common names. However, scientific names are the same worldwide. The scientific name of the puma/cougar/mountain lion is Puma concolor. So if you want to talk to other scientists about this animal, you would use the scientific name rather than the common name to avoid confusion.
The scientific name is important in biology because the other names, the common names, are not specific. They often refer to more than one species. It is important in science to be specific, otherwise your results are worthless.
they are better than other scientific calculators because prime factorization can be done by these..

because it is easier to think of common names but personally i like uncommon names better i am called Amy so i am not sure if that is common or not what do you think plzz leave a message on my message board Love Amy leigh hickman [Amy] xxx
Because common names vary from place to place and many don't accurately define a species.
A scientific name is a formal name given to a species of organism, consisting of two parts: the genus and the species. These names are standardized and internationally recognized, helping to avoid confusion between different common names for the same species and enabling scientists to communicate effectively about species. Additionally, scientific names provide important information about the evolutionary relationships between species.
The two advantages of using scientific names for organisms include their universality in the whole world since they are Latin, and no single organism can have more than one scientific name.
