Summary Introduction
Concept introduction: The phylum Cnidaria comprises approximately 9000 species. It includes hydra, jellyfish, sea anemones, corals, and others. Most of them are predominately marine species, and others are freshwater species. The body is composed of only two layers of cells. The body exhibits radial symmetry.

If nematodes are the most numerous animals, the Arthropoda, including insects, are the most diverse, accounting for more than half of all known animal species. What features have led to the remarkable evolutionary success of this branch?
The multicellular body plan (demonstrated by the Porifera, sponges) are possible because of the evolution of specialized proteins that include? A) MEMBRANE PROTEINS (Adhering proteins) that bind the cell membranes together b)DNA c) hemoglobin d) glycogen and chitin e) chromosomes ?
Identify the two features of body plan that evolved with the cnidarians and ctenophores. Explain the significance of these features to their biological processes including locomotion, body support, reproduction, and development.
