Have a look at this this example: monkfish, sea devil, angler,
belly-fish, headfish, sea monk, fishing frog and goosefish all refer to
the same fish. Confusing, right?
Using latin in classification, the fish is uniquely identified as:
As you can see from the examples above, not everyone can understand what
particular specimens are being referred to by using "nicknames" or
"monikers" in a particular language. The latter vary not only from
language to language, but even from region to region. Thus we inject too
much confusion into the discussion when we forgo using scientific names
of plants in favor of their nicknames. In fact, even within the same
region a specimen may well have more than one nickname attributed to it.
Or in some cases, none exists at all for a given specimen. Worse yet,
two specimens quite unrelated may share the exact same nickname!
It was to combat confusion that Swedish naturalist Carolus (Carl)
Linnaeus (1707-1778) developed what is known as the binomial system for
taxonomy -- in other works, the use of scientific names for plants.
"Binomial" means that two words are used for classification purposes,
and those two words are in Latin (or Latinized, at least). You may
remember from History class that Latin was once the universal language
of Western scholars. And it is that very universality that is still
relied upon to bring some clarity to the business of plant
classification, in the form of scientific names for plants. So if you
plug Glechoma hederacea, for instance, into the Google search engine, by
about the fourth page of results you'll see that some of the entries
are in languages other than English. That's universality for you, and
that's the beauty of the scientific names of plants. </span>
Development is largely under the control of genes. Mature cell types of the body, like neurons and liver cells, express different sets of genes, which give them their unique properties and functions.
The conclusion that coral does not grow well in conditions with high salt is invalid because (B) The experiment changes more than one variable at once.
In order to correctly study the effect of three variables on there needs to be, 3 x 3 x 3 = 27 different aquariums (every variable takes 3 different values and there are 3 different variables).
In these aquariums, only one condition needs to be varied at a time to study its effect. To study the condition with high salt, the temperature and pH needs needs to be kept fixed at a particular value whilst varying the salinity from normal to low to high.
The optimal pH can be measured by looking at enzyme activity verses pH. Enzyme activity will increase up to a certain pH; above that pH, the enzyme activity will begin to fall.
