Notes September 9, 2013 When using a Dichotomous key you will need To read choice A FIRST and then read choice B. Use the choice that best fits the organism’s phenotype. Follow these rules every time: • Identify only one organism at a time. DO NOT SKIP AROUND • Read and consider both A and B choices. DO NOT JUMP TO CONCLUSIONS

• Choose the clue that BEST fits the organism’s phenotype. • Follow the directions the clue you choose gives. • Write down the organism’s name. • Choose your next organism to identify • Go back to clue one and read A and B again ALWAYS write down the clues you have used. This helps you check for errors.
