Evolutionary Dichotomous diagram
This dichotomous diagram show how to classify organisms. This specific dichotomous tree is used to classify four plants; roses, daisies, crabgrass, and clover. With a dichotomous tree, all you have to do to classify something you just need to start at the top, and determine which way it goes.
A dichotomous key is also needed to complete the diagram, the key is used to navigate the dichotomous tree so that if you need to add another ________ (anything) you'll know how to go about it using the tree. Here is the dichotomous key for the dichotomous tree above:
1A: is a flower----------------go to 2
1B: isn't a flower-------------go to 3
2A: has strait petals----------Daisy
2b: has curled petals---------Rose
3A: has leaves----------------Clover
3B: doesn't have leaves-----Crabgrass
