Taxonomic Key

Use the following taxonomic groupings and organisms in the next key. You must include all of them. In two cases, you will include both the polyp and medusa forms in the key. (Hint: They do not have to be near each other in the key). Remember, you need 2 features per step. You can make a key to the phyla and then separate keys for the phyla that have multiple specimens. A few of the higher taxonomic levels will not have a corresponding specimen.

The task was to provide key for all the phylums mentioned in the database of the student. First the key was supposed to be developed for individual phylums and then for separate phylums and their their classes, sub classes, orders and their respective specimens.

Please ensure all the requirements are met. I have an assignment for Zoology Invertebrates class about making a taxonomic key. I already did most of it and need someone to check if there any missing and also fix the feedback on it. The assignment is to make: First, to make a key feature for all phylum. at least 2 morphology features in each step. (with figures) Then make a separate key for each phylum with its classes, sub, order and its specimens. at least 2 morphology features in each step (with figures). Some phylum doesn’t have any specimens. Those you don’t have to make a separate key for it. Also, the morphology features have already been given by the student, DO i have just have to fill in the details that he could not do right? That is, writing the missing details of respective phylum and class where ever the client has not written in front of their morphology features?
