Question

Which of the following statement is not true for scientifically naming an organism?

• A. Scientific name of an organism is unique.
• B. Having only one scientific name eliminates confusion.
• C. The system of scientifically naming an organism is called nomenclature.
• D. Native names are used to name an organism.

Answer 1

The correct option is D Native names are used to name an organism.

The system of scientifically naming an organism is called nomenclature. No two organisms are given the same name. So it ensures that the organism is known by this unique name all throughout the world.
Native names are not used for naming the organisms as they are many in number and differ from place to place creating confusion.
