A dichotomous key is a tool that allows the user to determine the identity of items in the natural world, such as trees, wildflowers, mammals, reptiles, rocks, and fish. Keys consist of a series of choices that lead the user to the correct name of a given item. Here is a good example:

Answer 6

It kind of looks like a pedigree chart to me. Idk, anyways, I would go with D because so many living this are unicellular and so many others are multicellular. It just makes more sense to me.

Answer 7

Does this help? I hope I didn't just confuse you further or anything...

Answer 17

Eddie’s assignment is to prepare a dichotomous key for several objects. His first task was to arrange the objects. The objects are a lightening bug, a butterfly, a ladybug, an ant and a canary.

What should each question in the dichotomous key accomplish?
A)
It should arrange the organisms by phylum.
Eliminate
B)
It should divide the objects into two groups.
C)
It should predict the offspring of the objects.
D)
It should give the clues to the organism’s name.

Answer 18

?? are '

Answer 19

and ignore Eiminate

Answer 20

shouldnt it be b

Answer 21

If he chose B, then Eddie would have to divide them from insect and bird, because they are all insects instead of the canary. If he chose D, he would have to be very specific with what questions he were to ask. C doesn't make much sense to me, personally, and A kind of seems right to me. I am not 100% sure, but maybe A?

Answer 22

I don't know, I haven't learned this since a looong time ago, and am kind of forgetful. Honestly, I could be completely wrong..

Answer 23

Hmmm. Maybe a because it sounds more explanatory.

Answer 24

Phylum wouldn't be a good idea now that I think of it. Phylums are for plants, and are very broad and general at times. even if it did say Divisions, which is for animals, It would still be too road. I just think that A and C can't be it.

Answer 25

* would still be too *broad** Sorry, typo.

Answer 26

Just choose between B and D, you have a 50% chance of getting it right, anyhow.

Answer 27

Thank you!
