Classify biodiversity and use dichotomous keys

Paper 1, Paper 2 5 marks Difficulty 4

Use a dichotomous key branch

A specimen in a Melbourne DP Biology class has jointed legs and an external skeleton. A dichotomous key sends organisms with those features to the result. Identify the group. Use the diagram labels, allele model, food-web arrows, or data values before answering. Enter the answer and choose the interpretation that best matches the biological evidence.

Worked practice: biological evidence and answer

Use the labelled biological evidence first, then connect it to the final answer.
