Question

The main drawback of binomial nomenclature is

• A. The botanical name of the plant depends on the taxonomic system.
• B. The name of the plant is not limited by size.
• C. The name plant does not depend on taxonomy.
• D. Both A and B

Answer 1

The correct option is D Both A and B

• The usefulness of botanical names is limited by the fact that taxonomic groups are not fixed in size; a taxon may have a varying circumscription. The group of a particular botanical name refers to can be quite small according to some people and quite big according to others.
  
• Unlike the common name which took size, uses and appearance into consideration, binomial names were only based on taxonomic system.
  

So, the correct option is 'Both A and B'.
