The statement that is true is "A dichotomous key uses question pairs to identify organisms by their characteristics."
To answer this question, you need to understand what a dichotomous key is and how it works. A dichotomous key is a tool used in biology to identify organisms based on their observable characteristics. It consists of a series of questions or statements that present two options at each step. By choosing the option that best matches the organism being identified, you can narrow down the possibilities until you reach a specific group or species.
Looking at the given options, the statement "A dichotomous key uses question pairs to identify organisms by their characteristics" accurately describes how a dichotomous key works. It highlights that question pairs are used to identify organisms based on their specific characteristics, allowing for a process of elimination that leads to the correct identification.
The other options are not accurate because they do not describe the characteristics of a dichotomous key correctly. Using photographs or samples to identify organisms is part of other identification methods, but not specifically characteristic of a dichotomous key.
