Graded Assignment Lab Report Create a dichotomous key that identifies the 10 leaves on the Common Leaves sheet. Look closely at those leaf samples and devise a dichotomous key that helps you identify them. Be sure that your dichotomous key contains only pairs of statements about a single characteristic. For example, a pair of statements might be: A. leaf margin smooth B. leaf margin toothed However, you should avoid pairs of statements that do not address the same characteristic. The following pair, for example, would not be very informative in your key: A. leaf margin smooth B. leaf type needle-like As you develop your key, test it out with the 10 leaves provided on the Common Leaves sheet. When you've developed a key that identifies all 10 leaves, type your statements, “go tos,” and identifications, following the format in the example below. The example is based on this lesson’s dichotomous key for birds. Statement Types/Dichotomous key for birds Identification Name/Number of Leaves Statement 2a The bird has a crest of feathers on the top of its head. go to statement or identify bird blue jay Statement 2b The bird has a smooth head. go to statement or identify bird 3 Once you have completed your dichotomous key, answer the two remaining questions. When you are finished, submit this assignment to your teacher by the due date for full credit.

Create a dichotomous key that identifies the 10 leaves on the Common Leaves sheet. Look closely at those leaf
samples and devise a dichotomous key that helps you identify them. Be sure that your dichotomous key contains
only pairs of statements about a single characteristic. For example, a pair of statements might be:
A. leaf margin smooth
B. leaf margin toothed
However, you should avoid pairs of statements that do not address the same characteristic. The following pair, for
