The Sun Children
A characteristic all plants share
Apical meristems, multicellular gametangia, walled spores, alternation of generations
Although mostly unicellular, this characteristic of protists classifies them within the Domain Eukarya.
Nucleus
The distinction given to fungi due to their ability to digest material outside of their bodies.
Saprophytic/ Absorptive Heterotrophs.
Cnidaria, Echinodermata
One major derived character for all chordates
Notochord, Nerve Cord, Gill Slits, Tail
Bryophyta
Forams fit into this supergroup of protists. They contain thin pseudopods which allow them to catch food.
Rhizaria
The component of fungi which allow for absorption.
Hyphae/Mycelia
The phylum of animals which contain no symmetry.
Porifera
A class of animals which would be classified as tetrapods, but not amniotes.
Amphibia
The tissue responsible for the transport of water to the tops of trees
Xylem
Animal-like protists like gymnamoeba fit into this category of protists.
Unikonta
The name and specific process of asexual reproduction for unicellular fungi.
Yeasts :: Budding
The derm layer that is not found in many invertebrates which would make them diploblasts.
Mesoderm
The class of animals that would be classified as a gnathostome, but not an osteichthyan.
Chondrichthyes
The four components of a double-fertilized seed
Embryo, Cotyledons, Endosperm, Protective Coat
The supergroup of protists that parabasalids fit into. They contain a feeding groove within their cell that allows them to consume organic material.
Excavata
The phylum of fungi that contain the majority of the mycorrhizae species.
Glomeromycota
The phylum which contains insects (hexapods) and arachnids.
Arthropoda
A category of mammal which lays its amniotic eggs instead of giving birth to live young.
Monotremes
The product of meiotic division by the sporophyte generation
Haploid Spores
The supergroup of protists that ciliates like paramecium fit into. These contain tiny, hair-like structures which allow them to freely move.
Chromalveolata
The phylum of fungi which contain amphibian parasites with the distinction of motile spores with flagella.
Chytridiomycota
The phylum of flat worms like planaria.
Platyhelminthes
A class of animals that would be classified as a craniate, but not a gnathostome.
Myxini OR Petromyzontida
