Diagram

Dichotomous Keying • Used to identify organisms • Characteristics given in pairs • Read both characteristics and either go to another set of characteristics OR identify the organism

Example of Dichotomous Key •1a Tentacles present – Go to 2 •1b Tentacles absent – Go to 3 •2a Eight Tentacles – Octopus •2b More than 8 tentacles – 3 •3a Tentacles hang down – go to 4 •3b Tentacles upright–Sea Anemone •4a Balloon-shaped body–Jellyfish •4b Body NOT balloon-shaped - 5
