State at least two justifications for the use of scientific names and classifications of organisms.
I can give you one: It makes it easier to study organisms' properties, because organisms with the same properties are grouped together. Can you think of another?
Hint: think about how many common names there can be for any one organism. In English alone, an osprey is also known as a sea hawk, fish eagle, or fish hawk. The German name is Fischadler, and in French, it's Balbuzard pêcheur. See how this can be a bit confusing?
oh i see. its the advantages or the pros of scientific names aite? thanks! :D
Rather the advantages of classification.
okay got it thanks again!
No problem.
Allows biology to be international and enable scientists from different culture to universally identify an organism. this is important especially since organisms have been translocated globally for food, medicine , and research source: from my lecture note.. haha
