How many total phyla?
There are around 35 recognized animal phyla and 11 recognized plant phyla, making a total of approximately 46 phyla across the animal and plant kingdoms.
Which characteristics are NOT present in all animal phyla?
Not all animal phyla possess a backbone or true tissues. Additionally, not all animal phyla exhibit bilateral symmetry or segmentation. Some phyla, like sponges, lack specialized organ systems, while others, like cnidarians, have a simple nerve net instead of a centralized nervous system.
How many phylum did we have?
Do you mean, 'How many phyla are there on Earth?' There are more than 20 phyla of bacteria, over 30 phyla of animals and 12 phyla of plants. Fungi and protists, who knows.....? Add up all these phyla, and you can see there is quite a lot.
The first animal is thought to resemble which current phyla?
The first animal is thought to resemble current phyla such as sponges or cnidarians, based on genetic analyses and fossil evidence. These early animals likely had simple body plans and lacked complex features seen in more derived phyla.
What is animal phyla?
Animal phyla are major groupings of organisms within the animal kingdom based on shared characteristics like body plan, development, and genetic makeup. There are around 35 recognized animal phyla, ranging from simple organisms like sponges to complex organisms like mammals. Each phylum represents a distinct evolutionary lineage with its own unique traits.

What are 2 phyla in the animal kingdom?
There are more than two phyla in the animal kingdom... There are many phyla in the animal kingdom. There are a few phyla of worms and other invertebrates and then you have the vertebrate ohyla. Unless that's what your asking? Did you want the invertebrate and vertebrate in general phyla? That's the only set of 2 things I can think of.
What two features define animal phyla?
Two features that define animal phyla are body plan (organization of tissues and symmetry) and level of complexity (including presence or absence of true tissues, body cavities, and segmentation).
What two phyla of animal contain an exoskeleton?
The two phyla of animals that contain an exoskeleton are Arthropoda, which includes insects, spiders, and crustaceans, and Mollusca, which includes animals like snails and clams.

What is sporoza?
An animal-like it is one of the phyla. it does not move
What is the order of animal kingdom phyla simple to complex?
The order of animal kingdom phyla from simple to complex is generally considered to be Porifera (sponges), Cnidaria (jellyfish, corals), Platyhelminthes (flatworms), Nematoda (roundworms), Annelida (segmented worms), Mollusca (clams, snails), Arthropoda (insects, crustaceans), Echinodermata (starfish, sea urchins), and Chordata (vertebrates).
The first animal is thought to resemble which current phyla?
The first animal is thought to resemble current phyla such as sponges or cnidarians, based on genetic analyses and fossil evidence. These early animals likely had simple body plans and lacked complex features seen in more derived phyla.
Annelids are the first of the animal phyla studied to have what general characteristic?
Annelids are the first animal phyla to have a true body cavity (coelom), which is enclosed by mesoderm. This cavity enables more complex organ systems and allows for greater specialization of body functions.
Which one of the nine major animal phyla is jellyfish?
Cnidaria
Which era did the most animal phyla evolve?
The Cambrian era saw the rapid evolution and diversification of many animal phyla, known as the Cambrian Explosion. This era, approximately 541 to 485 million years ago, was a pivotal time in the evolution of life on Earth, leading to the emergence of a wide variety of body plans and organisms.
Which of the animal phyla was the first to evolve three germ layers?
The first animal phylum to evolve three germ layers was the Cnidaria. These germ layers are the ectoderm, endoderm, and mesoderm, found in more complex animals for the development of different structures and organs.
