Dichotomous Keys: Sample with Flowchart

Flowcharts constructed from dichotomous keys ___________. allow the investigator to show the relationships between the different statements. allow the investigator to see how one bacterium stands out. enable the investigator to visualize a pattern for each bacterium.

allow the investigator to show the relationships between the different statements.

How are the questions in a dichotomous key phrased? as multiple-choice questions to accommodate different bacterial species as true/false statements, allowing a "true" bacterium to be identified as yes/no statements, allowing for multiple characteristics to be applied to an unknown specimen

as yes/no statements, allowing for multiple characteristics to be applied to an unknown specimen

The flowchart shown in the animation ________________. provides the growth conditions required for each bacterium. shows all possible outcomes for the dichotomous key based on the limited number of bacteria listed. gives the results of all possible bacteria known to microbiologists. is based on both biochemical and DNA evidence.

shows all possible outcomes for the dichotomous key based on the limited number of bacteria listed.
