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