Question

During science class, students were instructed to develop a dichotomous key (a tool that allows the user to determine the identity of items in the natural world) in order to classify organisms into one of the six kingdoms of life. Ms. King, their teacher, provided them with this diagram. According to the diagram, the BEST way to separate all living things into two main groups would be to consider

A)
method of reproduction.


B)
consumer versus producer.


C)
cell type, prokaryotic versus eukaryotic.


D)
organization, unicellular versus multicellular.

Answer 1

Its C just got it right

Answer 2

Option C, Cell type, Prokaryotic versus eukaryotic.

Explanation:

The tool used to characterize and divide organism into groups such that each key in the entire diagram represents a small group is a dichotomous key . At every step of the key there lies two options and choosing any one option will lead to elimination of species.

Basic feature are used as a reference of characterization such as type of phylum, species, genus. kingdom etc. on the basis of cell type i.e prokaryotic versus eukaryotic.

Thus, correct answer is option C
