    During a visit to a museum, students were shown ten specimens of organisms on display.The teacher provided a dichotomous key (shown in a separate page) to enable them to place each species on display into its taxonomic group. Five of the specimens that were on display are shown in the diagrams provided.

Dichotomous Key.

  1.    
    1. Animal with a flattened body….. …………………………………..go to 9.
    2. Animal without a flattened body……………………………………. go to 2.
  2.    
    1. Animal with body in a shell ………………………………………….Mollusca.
    2. Animal with body in shell………………………………………….. go to 3.
  3.    
    1. Animal with segmented body….. …………………………………….go to 4.
    2. Animal with body not segmented…………………………………….Nematoda.
  4.    
    1. Animal with jointed appendages go to 6.
    2. Animal without jointed appendages to 5.
  5.    
    1. Animal with long and cyndrical body…………………………………..annelida.
    2. Animal with short stout body………………………………………….. Trenada.
  6.    
    1. Animal with antennae…………………………………………………...go to7.
    2. Animal without antennae ….. ………………………………………….go to 8.
  7.    
    1. Animal with one pair of antennae……………………………………… Insecta.
    2. Animal with more than one pair of antennae………………………….. crustacean.
  8.    
    1. Animal with pincer –like mouthparts………………………………….. Arachida.
    2. Animal with sucking mouth parts………………………………….….Acarina.
  9.    
    1. Animal with long ribbon-like body ……………………….…………….cestoda.
    2. Animal with circular body………………………………………….. rinoidea).

Use the dichotomous key to identify the taxonomic group of each of the five specimens shown in the drawings.
