Questions
Question 1:
My formulated groups somehow match with other class fellows but not to a great extent. The reason behind the little resemblance between the groups formulated by different class fellows might be the difference in criteria. Every class fellow must have selected and observed the objects from a different perspective.
Question 2:
In fact, if we combine groups 4, 5 and six, then we could have a larger group that could be further divided into subgroups. However, because of the limitation of the provided table’s sections, I have already split them and made three groups instead.
Question 3:
It is already mentioned in answer number 2 that groups 4.5 and 6 can be gathered as a bigger group. This amalgamation could take place on some basic features of the objects of these groups.
Question 4:
Fruitbat was a difficult object to be placed only in one group because it has wings and, therefore, it should belong to birds. Nevertheless, its mammary attributes make it more relevant to the mammal group.
Question 5:
Harder outer cover (but not shell) | Barnacle (group 4) Clam, snail (group 7) |
Wings | Fruitbat (group 8), peregrine falcon, hummingbird (group 9), monarch (group 5) |
Have more than four legs. | Monarch (group 5), blue crab, barnacle (group 4), Tarantula, tick (group 6) |
Question 6:
Organisms that belong to different groups can be apart from each other but can have similar attributes because of the notion of convergent evolution. According to this phenomenon, ancestors of diverse organisms utilize analogous resources and encounter alike environmental factors. Therefore, such organisms developed similar structures.
Question 7:
All twenty given objects of observation share some underlying attributes, such as reproduction and adaptation to diverse environmental conditions, as well as DNA as a hereditary factor.

Questions
Question: 7
A8 resembles most A3 as they both share several characteristics, and only their tail shape makes them different.
Question: 8
Yes, a whole diverse key could be developed to attain similar results to identify all provided cartoon animals. The key can be reorganized to commence evaluation by implementing different attributes.
Question: 9
Good dichotomous key features clear description without implying any indistinctness. Such precise description makes it easy to distinguish the objects and categorize them into different types.
Part 2B – Dichotomous Key
Questions
Question: 10
There are about six boxes in the dichotomous key developed above.
Question: 11
Yes, the chart can be made with fewer or even with more steps and boxes.
Question: 12
It is better to have fewer boxes because it helps to devise a solution in a faster manner and makes it simpler and easier to comprehend the implications.
Question: 13
As it is evident from the chart given above, B3 is more closely related to B1.
Question: 14
No, physical features are not sufficient enough to determine such factors.
Question: 15
There are some other methods, including the evaluation of protein sequences as well as a comparison of DNA structure to identify the connectivity of two animals, people or aliens.
