Presentation transcript:

A classification system is a way of separating a large group of closely related organisms into smaller subgroups. With such a system, identification of an organism is easy. The scientific names of organisms are based on the classification systems of living organisms. To classify an organism, scientists often use a dichotomous key. A dichotomous key is a listing of specific characteristics, such as structure and behavior, in such a way that an organism can be identified through a process of elimination. a process of elimination.

Read the information in the “Constructing a Dichotomous Key” handout and use the information to identify the names of the objects shown on the handout.
