This is for Biology, but I don't have time to do all of this...I need 5 Dichotomus Keys for these plants:

----------------------------------
Toyan: Simple, Net, toothed, Falcate

Eucalyptus: Simple, Net, Smooth, Falcate

Bamboo: Simple, Parrallel, Smooth Lanced

English Walnut: Compoud, Net, Smooth, Oblong

Valley Oak: Simple, Net, lobed, Oblong

Manzanita: Simple, Net, Smooth, Oval

Carrob: Compound, Net, Smooth, Oval

Black Walnut: Compoud, Net, Smooth, Lanced

Bay: Simple, Net, Smooth, Lanced
----------------------------

Possible traits:
Type: Simple or Compound
Venation: Net, Parralell, or Palmate
Margin: Smooth, Toothed, Cleft, or Lobed
Shape: Lance, Falcate, Stellar, Oblong, or Oval

Making a Dichotomus Key is really simple... I just don't have time to make 5. All you have to do is make a simple Binary Tree. Here is one I have so far:

Code: 
A.  Parralell veined - Maple

A'. Not parallel veined
	B. Palmate - Bamboo
	
	B'. Not Palmate
		C. ... (continue from here)


If 4 people did 1 each, I would be VERY happy!!!

Edit: When I finish mine, I will show you what it looks like. REmember, they have to be 5 different, somewhat unique keys. (its' not really that hard at all)

Edit: I can actually still get these up until 8:15 or so... For those of you not in Pacific time that is in about 27 minutes.

Okey! Finished with the first one:

Code: 
Dichotomus Key 

A.  Parralell veined - Maple

A'. Not parallel veined
	B. Palmate - Bamboo
	
	B'. Not Palmate
		C. Falcate - Eucalpyptus
		C'. Not Falcate
			D. Lanced
				E. Toothed -Toyan
				E'. Not toothed
					F. Simple - Bay
					F'. Not Simple - Black Walnut
			D'. Not Lanced
				E. Lobed - Valley Oak
				E'. Not Lobed
					F. Simple - Manzanita
					F'. Not Simple
						G. Oblong - English Walnut
						G'. Not Oblong - Carrob


The format should look something like that, but don't copy what I did (they have to be differend)

Make sure there are 18 lines!

I'm almost finished with 2, if I can only get 3 more! I can get them up to 8:17 or so!

Here's another example:
Code: 
Dichotomus Key 2

A. Simple
	B. Lobed - Valley Oak
	B'. Not lobed
		C. Toothed - Toyan
		C'. Not Toothed
			D. Cleft - Maple
			D.' Not Cleft
				E. Falcate -Eucalyptus
				E'. Not Falcate
					F. Parallel -Bamboo
					F'. Not Parallel
						G. Lanced -Bay
						G'. Not Lanced - Manzanita

A'. Not Simple
	B. Lanced - Black Walnut
	B'. Not lanced 
		C. Oblong - English Walnut
		C'. Not Oblong - Carrob

LOL! You should have posted it on RentACoder. For five bucks, some dirt-poor Indian with a PhD would have finished it in minutes. [http://forums.massassi.net/html/smile.gif]

Yes, it's high school Honors Biology. The reason I procrastinated so much is that I spent the whole time trying to write a python program to do it for me, but I never even started the thing. (I'm at lunch in the library)

I remember last year in 8th grade we did some sort of dichotomus key, but I never understood it then and don't understand it now.
