Expectations

SZ1.a
Construct an explanation of the relationships among animal taxa using evidence from morphology, embryology, and biochemistry.
SZ1.b
Analyze and interpret data to explain patterns in structure and function and construct a classification of representative animal taxa including: Porifera, Cnidaria, Platyhelminthes, Nematoda, Annelida, Mollusca, Arthropoda, Echinodermata, and Chordata.
SZ1.c
Develop a model (i.e. cladogram, phylogenetic tree) using data to place taxa in a phylogenetic (evolutionary) context to support hypotheses of relationships.
