A group of 7th grade science students have been asked to create a dichotomous key that can be used to identify the plants shown
in the diagram below. Which of the following specifications should not be used when making this dichotomous key? 1.Circular shaped leaves --- Irregular shaped leaves
2.Leaves found in deciduous forest --- Leaves found in tropical forest
3.Leaves symmetrical on stem --- Leaves asymmetrical on stem
4.Leaves bunched on stem --- Single leaf on stem
The specification 'leaves found in deciduous forest and leaves found in tropical forest' should not be used when making this dichotomous key. It is not part of a classification system.
<h3>What is a dichotomous key?</h3>
A dichotomous key is a methodology employed by taxonomists to identify organisms from different taxonomic groups.
The dichotomous keys are always funded on phenotypic traits.
Dichotomous keys can be considered as two different options to identify a given feature of an organism.
