Lab: Using a Dichotomous Key

Question 4 • EF Environmental Science 1st Nine Weeks

Observations of organisms include

Answer
A
descriptions of why the organism has certain traits.
B
descriptions of the number, size, and arrangement of parts of the organism.
C
conclusions made about the characteristics of an organism.
D
conclusions made based on an organism’s DNA.

Explanation

Observations are details that can be directly seen or measured, such as an organism’s parts, their sizes, and how they are arranged. Descriptions of why traits exist or conclusions drawn from characteristics or DNA are interpretations or inferences, not direct observations. Therefore, the correct choice is descriptions of the number, size, and arrangement of parts of the organism.
