I was wondering if anyone could help me to better understand the Dichotomous Key and how to fill one in.

Samantha,
A dichotomous key is used to figure out the indentifcation of a given specimen. It lists basically only two characteristics to choose from at a time.--for example blue eyes or red eyes, then this will lead to another set of two choices or the final identity of the specimen.---its scientific name (genus and species and possible subspecies).
