Explanation / Answer

Phylum porifera

Features : No symmetry , hollow body cavity , stationary animal, specialized cells but no tissues,spicules exoskeleton.

examples:Scyon,Hyalonema,Spongilla

Phylum Cnidaria:

features

some stationary polyps and some mobile medusoids , entrance and exist through the same digestive tract,Some have stinging cells.

examples : Hydra ,Physalia,Aurelia.

Phylum Platyhelminthes:

features

Parasites, Simple animals with bilateral symmetry,three tissue no body cavity,tubular mouth at mid body.

example : liver flukes , tape worms.

Phylum nematoda:

features

Tube within a tube arrangement , muscle and nerves developed.

example: round worms, wucheraria brancrofti.

Phylum Annelida:

Features: Setae used for movement, Bilateral phylum with segmentation,complete digestive tract.

examples : Neris , Aphrodite , Megascolex

Phylum Arthropoda :

Features: Has the most species , Exoskeleton present , Hard but flexible bodies with small plates,The first to have jointed legs,The First to fly,Champions of variation in appendages.

example : palemon,Limulus,Lobsters,preying mantis etc.

Phylum Mollusca:

Features:

most have calcium containing shell,Mantle of tissue coverin the body ,Some propel using siphon,Muscular foot used to move,Radula is used to feed.

Examples:Neoplina,chiton, Dentalium, Sepia ,Octopus.

Phylum Echinodermata:

Five part symmetry , Tube feet , Water flows through canals of body,All live in sea,Have spines covered with a thin skin,Stationary animal.

examples

Cucumaria, Ophioderma,Echinus.

Vertebrates:

Internal skeleton,Jaw and skull as part of evolution,all have vertebral coloumn, Humans
