Answer:

Here you go I dot get what you mean by picture but here's what I got

Step-by-step explanation:

A dichotomous key is a tool created by scientists to help scientists and laypeople identify objects and organisms.

Typically, a dichotomous key for identifying a particular type of object consists of a specific series of questions. When one question is answered, the key directs the user as to what question to ask next.

Dichotomous keys typically stress identifying species by their scientific name, as each individual species has a unique scientific name.

By contrast, common names for organisms – such as “white oak,” “chipmunk,” or “penguin” – often refer to many different species that look similar to each other.

So to determine with certainty which species you are looking at, the dichotomous key identifies species by their unique scientific name.
