Question

what is true about the questions after each step in a dichotomous key?
they get less specific
they get more specific
they get less difficult
they get more difficult

Explanation:

A dichotomous key is a tool that helps identify organisms or objects. It works by asking a series of questions with two choices at each step. As you progress through the key, each subsequent question narrows down the possibilities further. This means that the questions become more specific as they target a smaller subset of characteristics. For example, if you start with "Does the organism have a backbone?" (a broad question), the next question might be about a more specific feature like "Is the backbone made of bone or cartilage?" for the subset of organisms that have a backbone.

Answer:

they get more specific
