In this exercise, you will learn about a variety of different phyla, and how they can be organised according to their shared characteristics. You will then use this information to complete a table in your laboratory manual.

Steps:

  1. The taxa are groups according to various morphological characteristics typically used by scientists. Before we look at these characteristics, however, you may wish to familiarise yourself with the phyla used. To do this click on the ‘Phyla’ link.
  2. When you are ready to complete the characteristics summary table in your lab manual click on the ‘Table’ link.
