A key is a sorting device that lists choices between certain observed characteristics. A dichotomous key is the simplest means of identification. The word dichotomy means "cut or split into two parts." Hence, a dichotomous key is a two-part or two-choice key. It asks whether a particular organism has one trait or another—either yellow or brown, either large or small, etc. For this project, you will classify different pieces of fruit by responding to dichotomous questions. In the fruit lab below, respond to the questions to help the computer identify all the pieces of fruit. After conducting the fruit lab, answer the following questions: What was your identification accuracy? Identify at least three types of characteristics that you were asked about as you helped the computer identify a fruit. How is the fruit lab like a dichotomous key?
