Main animal groups are noted at the right. Names diverging at each node are morphological or body form names. Note that the animal traits key to distinguishing the groups and body forms are not shown. Ancestral protist Animals Multicellularity Eumetazoa Parazoa Bilateria Radiata Deuterostomes Protostomes Ecdysozoa Lophotrochozoa Chordates Echinoderms Arthropods Roundworms Annelids Mollusks Flatworms Cnidarians Sponges If an animal researcher reproduces this evolutionary tree, but rotates the body form and animal groups, showing the deuterostomes beneath the protostomes, the interpretation of common ancestry and divergence among the body forms and animal groups will completely change.

Step 1
The claim is that rotating the positions of body-form labels and animal groups (for example, showing deuterostomes beneath protostomes) will completely change the interpretation of common ancestry and divergence. Verdict: false — simple rotation of branches around Show more…

The animal kingdom is divided into smaller groups of phyla. Each phylum is characterized by specific evolutionary adaptations. Drag each key characteristic to the correct animal group. Soft bodies, often with a hard outer shell Segmented bodies Radial body symmetry Unsegmented parasitic worms Shares the most recent common ancestor with chordates Bilateral body symmetry Lack of tissues or body symmetry Animals with backbones Jointed appendages; most numerous and diverse phylum of animals

According to the phylogeny tree, which phylum of organisms are most closely related to chordates? PLATO Course Biology, Semester B V6.0 > Post Test: Organization of Organisms Instructions: Select the correct location on the image. porifera cnidaria platyhelminthes nematoda mollusca annelida arthropoda echinodermata chordata sponges jellyfish flatworms round worms mollusks segmented worms insects spiders starfish vertebrates backbone segmentation endoskeleton coelom body cavity bilateral symmetry tissues multicellularity Ancestral Protist

Taxonomy of Living Things Investigate the phylogenetic tree in the figure below. The phylogenetic tree is used to classify phyla of kingdom Animalia. Each branch of the phylogenetic tree represents a key characteristic. Map the evolution of major characteristics on the above phylogeny of the animal kingdom (1 pt each – 9 total) Branch Characteristic 1 No Tissues 2 True Tissues 3 4 5 6 Body Cavity Present (Psuedocoleom or True Coelom) 7 8 9 10 11 12
