SEE ATTACHED FILEDichotomous Keys ExerciseUsing a flowchart-type approach a dichotomous key distinguishes between groups
based on increasingly specific criteria. In this project you apply your
knowledge of the prokaryotes that belong to Domains Archaea and Bacteria to
create five of your own dichotomous keys that distinguish each of the
following: Please use Microsoft PowerPoint or a similar
program that allows you to draw lines as well as write text to create the keys
and save them to an html or jpeg image file.1)A dichotomous key that distinguishesthe five classes of gram-negative Proteobacteria;2)A dichotomous key that
distinguishesthe four phyla of gram-negative bacteria
(Proteobacteria Cyanobacteria Chlorobi and Chloroflex I);3) A dichotomous key that
distinguishes the two phyla of gram-positive bacteria
(Firmicutes and Actinobacteria);4)A dichotomous key that
distinguishesthe remaining bacterial phyla
(Planctomycetes Chlamydiae Spirochaetes Bacteroidetes and Fusobacteria);5)A dichotomous key that distinguishes the Archaea groups (Thermophiles Halophiles Acidophiles
and Methanogens). An example of a dichotomous key is shown on page 303 of your
textbook.Please use Microsoft PowerPoint or a similar program that allows you to draw
lines as well as write text to create the keys and save them to an html or jpeg
image file.
