    This document provides a dichotomous key to classify organisms into kingdoms and phylums based on their characteristics. It asks a series of yes or no questions about symmetry, germ layers, presence of a support system, backbone, and segmentation to systematically categorize species such as sponges, jellyfish, starfish, flatworms, cats, octopuses, and centipedes. The key identifies 7 major phylums - Porifera, Cnidaria, Echinodermata, Platyelminthes, Chordata, Mollusca, and Arthropoda - based on attributes like radial symmetry, number of germ layers, and presence or absence of features like a backbone

    Does it have backbones?

    No
    No Yes
