Dichotomous key.
What does this mean?
Plants with seeds Go to B
Plants without seeds Go to B
or
Arthropods with wings Go to 2
Arthropods without Go to 3
AND WHAT'S THE MEANING OF GO TO 1 or B?
Your text must be defining B or the numbers. We do not have that data.
On the arthropods part there is:
A-butterfly,
B-spider,
C-centipede,
D-mosquito.
A dichotomous key is a tool used in biology to help identify different organisms, usually based on their physical characteristics. It consists of a series of choices between two alternatives (hence "dichotomous"), which ultimately leads to the correct identification of the organism.
In the examples you provided, each line represents a choice that you would make based on the characteristics of the organism you are trying to identify. Let's break it down:
Plants with seeds Go to B
Plants without seeds Go to B
This means that if the organism you are examining is a plant, you need to determine whether it has seeds or not. If it does have seeds, you would follow the instruction to "Go to B." This indicates that you should look for the next set of choices or instructions labeled with "B." Similarly, if the plant doesn't have seeds, you would also "Go to B" to continue the identification process.
Arthropods with wings Go to 2
Arthropods without wings Go to 3
In this case, you are trying to identify an arthropod, a group of invertebrate animals that includes insects, spiders, and crustaceans. If the arthropod you are examining has wings, you would "Go to 2" to find the next set of choices or instructions. On the other hand, if the arthropod does not have wings, you would "Go to 3" to proceed with the identification process.
The instructions to "Go to 1" or "Go to B" simply indicate where you should navigate next in the dichotomous key to continue narrowing down the possibilities until you eventually reach the correct identification for the organism you are studying.
