Summary Introduction
To describe:
The characteristics of the marine animal for determining the phylum to which the creature should be assigned.
Introduction:
Animals are majorly divided into the two groups, namely aquatic animals and terrestrial animals. The aquatic animals and terrestrial animals show some similarities, and they also show some dissimilarities because of their habitat. Hence, the animals are classified and their phylum is determined by analyzing the distinct features of the animals.

Construct a character matrix by making observations on the different features of the following group of invertebrates. On the table, write 1 if the character is present in (or exhibited by) the group; 0 if absent (or is not exhibited).
Group of organisms
Segmentation
Coelom
Jointed appendages
Cephalization
Tissues
Radial symmetry
Porifera
Arthropods
Cnidarians
Nematodes
Annelids
Input the characters in the pre-made cladogramthat is provided for you. Also, write in the empty boxes the correct group of organisms to show relationships. One character and one group of organism is done for you.
Your colleague is studying a newly discovered organism. She is becoming increasingly convinced that the organism is an arthropod. You find that you must respectfully disagree when you note that the organism has a set of distinctly non-arthropod characteristics. The features that cause you to exclude the organism from the arthropod grouping are
antennae, six legs, and mandibles.
pseudocoel, closed circulatory system, and ventral heart.
Malpighian tubules, ommatidia, and tagmata.
jointed legs, ecdysis, and an exoskeleton.
compound eyes, book lungs, and a hemocoel.
What is the significance of the binomial nomenclature in the classification of the vertebrates? If you were to devise another means of classifying organisms, what would it be?
Compare and contrast ectothermy and endothermy, including their pros and cons.
