Dichotomous Key


The purpose of a dichotomous key is to identify something through the use of different descriptions. Each number on the dichotomous key two different choices. In order to identify a specimen, start at number 1. Whichever description applies determines which number you will move to next. Move from number to number in accordance to the direction near each description until you reach the identification of the given specimen.
