  1. This cladogram represent the evolutionary relationships among major groups of animals. • What kinds of organisms most likely gave rise to the first animals? • sponges • Which evolved earlier, coelom or bilateral symmetry? • Bilateral symmetry • Which pair of animals is more closely related; annelids and arthropods or echinoderms and arthropods? • Annelids and arthropods

  2. Animal kingdom has 9 phyla: Phylum Cnideria jellyfish • Phylum Porifera • sponges

  3. Phylum Nematoda • Roundworms • Phylum Platyhelminthes • Flatworms, tapeworms

  4. Phylum Echinodermata • Starfish, sand dollars • Phylum Arthropoda • Insects • Spiders

  5. Phylum Chordata • ALL vertebrates • Humans, dogs, snakes

  6. Animals in the first 8 phyla are invertebrates, which means they DO NOT have a backbone. The only phylum that contains vertebrates (animals with a backbone) is phylum Chordata.

  7. Vertebrates are divided into 5 classes (or groups): • Fish- includes jawless fish, sharks and rays • Breathe through gills • Lay eggs in water • Have fins

  8. Amphibians (term means double life)- includes frogs, toads and salamanders • Have smooth or bumpy skin • Lay eggs in water • Gills/lungs • Breathe through skin

  9. Reptiles- snakes and turtles • Dry, scaly skin • Lay terrestrial eggs

  10. Birds- owl, chicken and stork. • Have feathers • Lay terrestrial eggs

  11. Mammals- human, dolphin, bear, bat and mouse • All have fur • Feed their young milk
