Keys used in plant taxonomy
Explanation:
- A taxonomic key is a simple means used to categorize a precise thing. A taxonomic key is one of the utmost valuable tools accessible to scientists trying to recognize an unknown organism.
- Systematists depend on keys to help recognize identified organisms and govern whether they have revealed a new organism completely.
- Keys are constructed so that the user is presented with a series of choices about the characteristics of the unknown organisms; by making the correct choice at each step of the key, the user is ultimately led to the identity of a specimen.
- There are three types of keys that we will discuss; (a) dichotomous; (b) polyclave (also called multiple access or synoptic); and (c) probability. (di - two; chotomy - forked).
