<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>

<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.

But when the industrial revolution came the amount of smoke from the factories made the Birchwood trees become darker in color do now the darker pepper moths were the ones who could camouflage while the white ones were easily eaten and killed. Since the darker colored moths were able to survive they had offspring who were also darker colored. Over time since mainly darker moths were produced it was common for pepper moths to be darker.
