Analysis Questions:

1. What is the determining factor of the chordate (vertebrate) vs non chordate (invertebrate) classification?

2. Organisms in kingdom Animalia usually show symmetry in body plan. Some animals show radial symmetry and

other show bilateral symmetry. Define these two terms. Make a t chart summarizing the body plan of the 9

major phyla in kingdom Animalia.

3. Organisms in kingdom Animalia are classified not only by notochord presence and body plan but are also

classified by how they develop embryonically. In early embryonic development an opening called the blastopore

forms. The final structure this blastopore forms determines whether an organism is a deuterostomes or a

protostome. Define the terms blastopore, deuterostome, and protostome. Make a t chart summarizing the

embryonic development of the 9 major phyla in kingdom Animalia.
