Question 6 • EF Environmental Science 1st Nine Weeks

Dichotomous keys ask

Answer
A
open-ended questions about animal behavior.
B
open-ended questions about easily observable characteristics.
C
yes-or-no questions about animal behavior.
D
yes-or-no questions about easily observable characteristics.

Explanation

A dichotomous key identifies an organism through a series of questions, each offering two contrasting choices. The questions focus on characteristics that can be readily observed, such as whether an organism has wings, rather than on its behavior. Therefore, the correct choice is “yes-or-no questions about easily observable characteristics.”
