Question

The system of scientific naming or nomenclature of organism which we use today was introduced by which of the following scientists?

A.

Marie Curie

B.

Carolus Linnaeus

C.

Charles Darwin

D.

George Washington Carver

Correct option is B


The correct answer is (b) Carolus Linnaeus.
· Carolus Linnaeus, a Swedish botanist, zoologist, and physician, introduced the modern system of binomial nomenclature, the scientific naming system we use today.
· In this system, each species is given a two-part Latin name consisting of the genus and species, such as  Homo sapiens for humans.
· This method, developed in the 18th century, helped standardize the names of organisms, making it easier for scientists across the world to communicate about species .
Information Booster:
· Binomial nomenclature means "two-name naming system," where the first name (genus) is capitalized, and the second name (species) is lowercase.
· Linnaeus's work, particularly in his book  Systema Naturae, laid the foundation for modern taxonomy.
· This system is still used universally in biology to ensure each organism has a unique and globally recognized name.
· Linnaeus is known as the "Father of Taxonomy" for his contributions to organizing the natural world systematically.
