Invertebrate
Zoology Characteristics Form
Use
this form for all of the animal phyla that are covered in Invertebrate Zoology
during the semester. When these topics
are covered in lecture, or when you are studying at home, fill in these characteristics
and then refer back to it when you study for tests. You will find that you can’t fill in all of
the headings because a particular phylum lacks one or more of the characteristics,
if that is the case note THAT on
your sheet.
