Q: Binomial Nomenclature was founded by:
  • A. Charles Darwin
  • B. Robert Nucleus
  • C. Carl Linnaeus
  • D. Lamarck
Correct Answer: Option C - In taxonomy, binomial nomenclature also called binary nomenclature, is a formal system of naming species of living things by giving each a name composed of two parts, both of which use latin grammatical forms, although they can be based on words from other languages. The first part of the name - the generic name (genus) and second part - the specific name (species). The adoption of biologists of a system of strictly binomial nomenclature is due to Swedish botanist and physician Carolus Linnaeus (1707-1778). It was in Linnaeus's 1753 Species Plantarum that consists of one genus and one species name.
