1b. Leaves are broad..................... Go to 2
2a. Single leaf..........................Go to 3
2b. Many leaves....................... Go to 4
3a. Leaf edge is smooth..............Cornus florida
3b. Lead edge is rough...............Ulmus americana
4a. Leaflet edges are smooth........Albizia julibrissin

Answer all the questions
Question 1: Carolus Linnaeus developed a system to organize all life on Earth called binomial nomenclature.
Question 2: The broadest category of classification in taxonomy is domain.
Question 3: A phylogenetic tree is similar to a dichotomous key in that both focus on illustrating taxonomic relationships between organisms.
Question 4: A humpback whale is classified as a mammal while a basking shark is classified under domain, kingdom, phylum, class only.
Question 5: A plant with many broad leaves with rough edges would be identified as juglans nigra.
