<u>Answer</u>:
1.a) Species. It is the lowest taxon and represents the scientific name of the organism.
b) The species name is part of the binomial system of nomenclature developed by Linnaeus.
Thus it is composed of two parts each with its own writing rules (ex. gray wolf - <em>Canis lupus</em>):
A. the genus or generic name
- written first
- always underlined or italicized
- the first letter is always capitalized
ex. <em>Canis</em>
B. the specific epithet or species name
- is written second
- always underlined or italicized
- never capitalized
ex. <em>lupus</em>

2. The results should always be the same. A dichotomous key is an identification tool based on a series of choices between alternative characters (dichotomous = divided into two parts). Thus, there is no room for subjective observation that may lead to another result. If the morphological traits of the organism are correctly identified, the the result should always be the same. Any differences occur due to errors on the scientist's part.
Answer:
The <em>erector</em><em> </em><em>spinae</em><em> </em>is NOT a muscle of respiration
Because sexual reproduction is faster than asexual reproduction. The water flea would have to inseminate itself somehow with asexual, but sexual reproduction is faster in terms of the male can inseminate many female fleas at once.
Binocular vision has the disadvantage of a smaller field of view, but the advantage of much greater depth perception, or the ability to distinguish the distance of an object. Binocular vision also allows for stereopsis, or the ability to view the world in three dimensions. Prey animals tend to have monocular vision.
