Chapter 30, Problem 5TYU
Summary Introduction
Concept introduction: Animal phylogeny is the rapidly changing field. The biologists mostly depend on the fossils to compare the similarities of body plan and the pattern of development to determine the evolutionary relationships among various animal groups. Throughout the evolutionary history, there are various changes seen in the body plans. These changes in the body plan provide clues to animal relationships.

The flexibility inherent in a segmented body plan was clearly important to crustacean evolution, but why are crustaceans so much more diverse than annelids, another segmented taxon?
Compare the body plan of Dugesia and cnidarians. Aside from differences in symmetry, what other innovative anatomical features did you observe in Dugesia that were not observed in cnidarians?
