Chapter 32.2, Problem 2LO
Summary Introduction
To identify: Three shared derived characters of echinoderms and describe the main classes of echinoderms.
Introduction: Animal phylogeny is the rapidly changing field for biologists. Even if the members of animal kingdom are incredibly diverse, there are various animals sharing certain features that differentiate them from other organisms of the kingdom. The most highly derived body plan among all animals of animal kingdom is echinoderm. Echinoderms are the animals that have no terrestrial or freshwater representatives. These animals belong to marine habitat.
