The questions are very brief. Please assist me with your biology expertise in accomplishing this.

In this exercise, we'll try to categorize some life forms. And to reduce the tempta- tion to just look up the correct answer, we'll use imaginary creatures! Sound good? Ok then, let's begin... PART I Creating a Classification System Look at the drawings in Figure 11-1. I'd say these 9 creatures are strange enough to be from Zylon, wouldn't you? You do remember Zylon don't you? It exists only in the realm of imagination ... Let’s begin by placing these odd creatures into two kingdoms, based on fea- tures they have in common, Kingdom one includes creatures 2, 5, 6, and 9. Kingdom two includes creatures 1, 3, 4, 7, and 8. What feature do creatures 2, 5, 6, and 9 have in common? There are two phyla in kingdom one. Only the members of phylum aura have ears. Which members of kingdom one belong to phylum aura? Now let's divide kingdom two into phyla. Phylum antennae contains mem- bers 3, 4, and 7. What feature is characteristic of phylum antennae? Now let's divide phylum antennae into two classes. Class diant contains crea- ture 4 and class monant contains creatures 3 and 7. Why? PART II Using a Classification Key Study the drawings of Figure 11-1. You will attempt to establish the identity of each creature by using Chart 11-1, a Zylonian classification key. To classify any creature shown in Figure 11-1, begin by reading Choice la. If the description matches the creature, go to the third column, the Next Move or Identification col- umn. If the description does not match the creature, go to Choice 1b, then Row 1b's Next Move or Identification column. Follow the key's directions until an identity is established for each creature.

Explanation / Answer

2,5,6,9 creatures have 2 pairs of arms instead of one. This is common among them.

2 belong to phylum aura.

Phylum antenae creatures have 2 heads with antenna on each of their heads.

The phylum antennae can be divided into 2 classes because of the number of heads the creatures have. The diant class creature (4) has 2 antenna on each head while the other class, monant creatures have single antenna on each of their heads.

Order comes after class taxon.

The monant class of kingdom two can be divided based on the position of antenna on their heads.
