Why is binomial nomenclature developed?

Answer 1

would you rather call your sunflower a large herbaceous flower which is a head (infloresence) and follows the direction of the sun, color yellow with ray and disk flowers... if there was no binomial nomenclature names of plants would be paragraph long.

Answer 2

Binomial nomenclature is for naming species in Biology and is sometimes called a species "latin name" or "scientific name". It is made up from the latin name for the genus followed by the species name.

Bi- Is a prefix meaning two

-nomial is a latin root for "name"

nomenclature is a list of names or a system used for naming something.

So the word literally means 2 name naming system. ie Homo Sapiens for humans

Answer 3

Binomial or binominal nomenclature is the naming of an organism. It consists of the generic name (genus) and the specific name (species). This system was first used by linnaeus. It is important because it help scientists to recognize an organism by that name. For example, let us talk about a common house rat. In my language it is called mazu. Suppose there was no binomial nomenclature system, a scientist from my place wishes to talk about his experiment to an english scientist on rat and say that the name of the organism he was experimenting on was called 'mazu', i don't think that the english guy would know what organism his friend was talking about. Instead, if his friend said the name of the organism was Rattus rattus, then the english scientist would understand that it was a rat.

My point is that different tribe has a way of naming things. And in order to avoid confusion, the phenomenon of binomial nomenclature was used.

Answer 4

from the earliest times plants and animals have been given common names by the people

for example: dozen of plants with bell shaped flowers are called blue bells and the word 'black bird' would mean a crow as well as a raven.similarly amaltas,gurmala, golden shower are common names for the same plant.common names have no scientific basis and cause confusion.

therefore during 18th century Carlous Linnaeus devised a system for naming and classifying all the known organisms scientifically and that is the reason of using binomial nomenclature

Answer 5

Binomial nomenclature was developed by Carl Linnaeus to provide a standardized system for naming and organizing living organisms based on their characteristics and relationships. By assigning each species a unique two-part name (genus and species), it helps to avoid confusion and clearly communicate information about each organism.

Answer 6

Binomial Nomenclature is how species are named. What makes it important is that it is internationally used and is a quick way to identify a certain type of animals or species.

Answer 7

The Binomial Nomenclature system was developed to create an organizational system into which relates types of animals/organisms could be arraigned.
