Lab: Dichotomous Keys

Question 122876 • Life Science Q1

Which statement about a dichotomous key is true?

Answer
A
A dichotomous key is based on the temporary actions of an organism.
B
A dichotomous key may include a question that has three or more answers.
C
A dichotomous key may have a group with no organisms in it.
D
A dichotomous key is complete when each organism stands alone.

Explanation

A dichotomous key uses a sequence of choices between two alternatives to identify organisms. It is complete when each organism can be distinguished and identified on its own. A question with three or more answers is not dichotomous, and the key is based on observable characteristics rather than temporary actions.
