Explanation / Answer

Advantages of scientific name are as follows:-

1) Universal recognition- Scientific naming is standardized, that is every organism have only one scientific name. In case of common name each organism is called by different names. common name differs according to language, country etc.

2) Organise and classify:-  Organism can be easily categorised, So, helps to understand the characteristics of a specific organism in an organised chart.

3) Inter specific relationship:- Binomial terms helps to underastand the difference and similarity between species. So helps to establish Inter specific relationship.

Organism 2 and organism 4 are more closely phylogenetically related. Organism 2 and organism 4 belong to same genus sitophilus.  phylogenetically relation has nothing to do with epithet and common name.

If you want to use binomial system for naming family member, then name should in the form of scientic nomenclature. The last name would be like the genus and the first name would be the species name.suppose father name is Rishabh Kumar. Then son name should be Suresh Kumar. Then his son name should be Tushar kumar. Like this we have given last name as kumar which is common in all member of family. So, this way we can easily trace the lineage of particular family.
