  10. Taxonomic Keys • A taxonomic key is paired statements that give characteristics of an organism. • You choose which statement applies to the organism you are trying to classify. • You continue through the key by stating the characteristics. • Once you have completed the steps, you arrive at the scientific name of the organism.
