Is it true or false organism may have different common names that vary from area to area and language language?

True. Due to the diversity of languages and cultural differences, organisms can have different common names that vary across regions and languages. This can lead to confusion and misunderstandings, highlighting the importance of using scientific names to ensure clarity and accuracy.


What is the necessity of naming animals with scientific names?

Scientific names are important for two reasons. (1) There are so many species of animals in the world that scientific names are the one unique name for that one unique species and (2) through scientific names, you can see how the different species of animals are related. Black squirrels and red squirrels aren't the same species, but they're related and their scientific names reflect this.


Why do scientists use scientific names instead of common names?

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.


What is the main benefit of using scientific names instead of common names for organisms?

I don't know about three advantages, however the one primary advantage is avoidance of confusion. For example if one just says "cat" one could be talking about a house cat (Felis catus), a bobcat (Lynx rufus), or a tiger (Panthera tigris). Using the scientific names avoids the confusion of exactly what type of cat you are talking about.

Justify the need for scientific nomenclature?

Why should one need a scientific name when a perfectly good common name is available? Because common names are so often imprecise or misleading. For example what is known by one name in one country may be known by another name in another country.And when people all over the world speak so many different languages, one animal can have so many different names in different languages. In the scientific world, it is extremely important to know the precise information about the object we study and also to know what class or type it belongs to. The name must therefore be unique.

Why is the use of scientific names important in biology?

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.
