Question
Chapter 32.3, Problem 1LO
Summary Introduction
To determine: The characters that distinguish the major animal phyla.
Introduction: The term classification refers to the categorization of living organisms on the basis of certain characteristics features which are either similar or different in the organisms. Animals sharing similar features are placed within the same taxonomic category and those which exhibit dissimilarity are placed separately.

Describe the characteristics of animals that differentiate them from the other kingdoms of organisms.
Make a phylogenetic tree about:
Animalia● Vertebrates● Invertebrates● Porifera● Coelenterata (Cnidaria)● Platyhelminthes● Nematoda● Annelida● Arthropoda● Mollusca● Echinodermata● Hemichordata● Chordata
(Label all the synapomorphies and include descriptions and side notes)
BIOLOGY: Major Animal Phyla
After examining the different specimens, construct a dichotomous key to the different phyla.
1. Develop a DICHOTOMOUS KEY to the CLASSES of Phylum
ECHINODERMATA:
Class Asteroidea (specimen: Linkia (blue sea star)),
Class Ophiuroidea (specimen: Ophiotrix (brittle star)),
Class Echinoidea (specimen: Diadema (black sea urchin)), &
Class Holothuroidea (specimen: Holothuria (sea cucumber))
2. Develop a DICHOTOMOUS KEY to the CLASSES of Subphylum
VERTEBRATA;
Class Amphibia (specimen: Rhinella marina (toad)),
Class Reptilia (specimen: Coura amboinensis (turtle), Hemidactylus (house
lizard), Elaphe erythrura (snake)),
Class Aves (specimen: Gallus gallus (chicken)),
Class Mammalia (specimen: Homo sapiens (human))
