Question

Use the dichotomous key below to identify the cell type.

Answer 1

The dichotomous key is not given here, however, the correct dichotomous key is as follows:

step- 1a cell has a nucleus and organelles - go to step 2

        1b cell has no nucleus or organelles - bacterial cell

step- 2a cell has a cell wall - go to step 3

         2b cell has no cell wall - animal cell

step-  3a cell has chloroplasts - plant cell

3b cell has no chloroplasts - fungal cell

Using this dichotomous key the cell can be identified as - Fungal cell.

A dichotomous key is an essential scientific tool that is used to find out the various kinds of organisms on their observable traits. Dichotomous keys have a series of statements with two different choices in each step that will take the student or user to the correct identification.

Identification of the given cell:

1. Follow step 1.

• If cells have a nucleus and organelles - yes then go to step 2

2. follow step 2.

• 2a. if cell has a cell wall - yes go to step 3

3. follow step 3.

• 3a. if cell has chloroplasts - no then fungal cell

Fungal cells have a nucleus and cell organelles enclosed with a cell wall around the plasma membrane but do not have chloroplast.

Thus, Using this dichotomous key the cell can be identified as - Fungal cell.
