Question
Table 1 contains all of the main features of the eight major phyla discussed in the Introduction. Organize and identify which characteristics belong to which phyla in the key. The number of rows in the key represents the number of characteristics that fall into each phylum.
Record your results in Table 2.
Post-Lab Questions
Were any of the features used in more than one Phyla? If so, give an example of an organism from each phyla that shares the feature.
List three features from Table 1 that describe a Monarch butterfly (Danaus plexippus)? Using the features you listed determine what phyla it is classified in.

The Following features were shared among different phyla:
Complete digestive tract with two ends is found in Annelids (Sand worm), arthropods (Cockroach), molluscs (snail), echinoderms (Sea urchins) and chordates (humans).
Phyla with segmentation and bilateral symmetry: Arthropods (cockroach) and annelids (Earthworm).
Monarch butterfly belongs to Arthropoda:
