Phyla is plural for Phylum. It is used in animal taxonomy and is the category between kingdom and class. Animals in the same phylum have the same degree of developmental similarity. There is a total of 36 animal phyla that all animals fall under and the largest phylum is Arthropoda.

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.

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 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).
How many total phyla?

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.

An animal-like it is one of the phyla. it does not move

Which one of the nine major animal phyla is jellyfish?
Cnidaria
Do echinoderms have tissues?
None of the above. Echinoderm refers to a member of the animal phyla Echinodermata, the sister taxon to our own phyla, Chordata.

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.
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.
Are humans part of the chordates section of the animal phyla?
yes we are! Because we have a backbone.
