Abstract

In the study of different biological objects, often resorting to the use of so-called "keys" or dichotomic tables (dichotomous - divided or dividing into two parts or classifications). Dichotomy (from Greek: [Cyrillic text] - into two" + "[Cyrillic text] partition") -- a split, successive division into two parts, i.e. such tables that are always divided into two - thesis and antithesis, on the basis of two self opposing groups of traits. The present article explores approaches for integration of dichotomic tables in self-developed computer applications. Also are demonstrated the results of implementation of the developed software for creating, editing, supplementing and updating of dichotomic tables, and the opportunities for working with arrays of data in an environment of different operating systems used by students in electronic and mobile learning.
