Good morning!! The purpose of both a dichotomous key and a field guide's purpose is to identify organisms. The only difference between the two is the a dichotomous key just uses descriptions to identify the animal with no pictures, but a field guide uses pictures to identify the organism. Another thing that separates the two is that the dichotomous key gives questions/descriptions that describe the organism, whereas the field guide uses a brief description of the animal. Hope I helped!!
For a fish to be buoyant, or float, it must displace less water or the same amount of water as its own body mass. ... Many fish use swim bladders to help them with quick depth changes. These bladders fill with air to help fish rise or release air so fish can sink, often in conjunction with forward movement.

Explanation:
1. Human and apes are evolutionarily closely related based on the analysis of their DNA sequences.
2. Wings of bats and birds serve the same function and are analogous structure.
3. Comparative anatomy is the study of the similarities and differences in structures in similar species.
4. Fossils demonstrate that during the evolution of the whale, the whale moved from land to the sea.
5. The human tailbone and appendix are vestigial organs.
6. The homologous structures are structures that are similar in related organisms because they were inherited from the common ancestor.
7. Comparative embryology is the study of similarities and differences in the embryo of different species.
8. The forelimb of all the mammals has basic bone structure.
9. Scientists who find and study fossils are called paleontologists.
