When would a scientist use a dichotomous key?

When the scientist isn't sure what an organism or animal is, he or she would then go through all of the questions until they reach the end where the name of the cell or animal would be, or maybe they could find that it is a new discovery.

Suture joints are practically immovable joints. You can find them in case of skull. They are there in case of skull, probably to allow the growth of individual bone, in order to increase the size of skull. With out joints, it would be very difficult to increase the size of the skull.


Why are dichotomous keys useful to scientist?

They are useful to scientist, because using the specific description of some organisms the scientist can find out which organisms, like insects, flowers or animals are which. Example: if I give you this descripition, like this animal has hooves, fur, 4 legs, a fur tail and a smooth skin, you can infer that I am talking about a Buffalo. I hope this answer would answer your questions.
