Discuss the importance of Binomial Nomenclature by citing different example.

Answer 1

Binomial nomenclature allows scientists people all over the world to communicate unambiguously about the various species makeing sure that every scientific name is unique. This system helps to characterize and categorize the species easily while the names are easy to remember and learn as they are unique for that organism. This nomenclature is specifically important for identifying poisonous, endangered and agricultural plants. For instance, tropical crop plant cassava has several common names including yuca, manioc, mandioca, casabe, and tapioca. However, according to the binomial nomenclature, the plant is called Manihot esculenta.
