8. b. Describe characteristics that nematodes and arthropods do not have in common. (Circle the correct term)

9. The phylogenetic position of nematodes has varied due to its physical features, although molecular evidence supports the current position. Nematodes were once thought to be sister taxa to flatworms and even earthworms, due to their vermiform shape and other characteristics. Compare and contrast nematodes to two other phyla we have investigated.
Flatworms Annelids
One characteristic this phylum has in common with nematodes (other than vermiform shape):
One characteristic that differentiates nematodes from this phylum:
