Answer
Advantages of Binomial Nomenclature:
- There is a single specific name for every species.
- All the organisms, irrespective of their utility, have been provided scientific names.
- The scientific names are universally accepted and used, irrespective of the local language of the people or a region.
- The 'species' part of the scientific name of an organism indicates its relationship and common characteristics with other organisms placed in the same genus.
- The scientific names are usually descriptive, indicating some important characteristics of the organism.
- A newly discovered organism can easily be described and named using binomial nomenclature.
- An incorrect name can easily be set right.
- The scientific names are usually derived from Latin or Greek languages, therefore, there is no possibility of any change in meaning of their words.
