why do biologists assign each organism a universally accepted name?

Answer 1

This allows scientists in different countries or even different parts of the same country to share information and to be certain that they are talking about the same organism. The common names vary from place to place, but the scientific name is universal and international.

Answer 2

The reason is because as you may know there are 7 different levels of classification that from kingdom to species and for each level ( there are 4 kingdoms) A name is assigned which when the organism fits that level is given until it reaches the last level which by then it has it own unique name. ( In Latin)

Answer 3

So wherever you are in the world, a dog is still Canis familiaris. That "universally accepted" scientific name is the same for all nations. So even if in, say the Philippines, they call the dog, 'aso' they would know what you're talking about when you say Canis familiaris.

Answer 4

To avoid confusion with similar names for an organism or the same with different colloquial names...(That is why, latin is the preferred language)//////////// and because in different languages, thay will know they are talking or dealing with the same specimen.....
