As part of your independent study in field biology, you are sent to a small, inland sea. In one of your samples, you discover a small eel-like creature. It has a stiff, rod-shaped structure running the length of its dorsal side, with a line of nervous

tissue running along with it. You would begin the process of classifying this organism by placing it in phylum:

A) Vertebrata. B) Cnidaria. C) Arthropoda. D) Mollusca. E) Chordata.

Refer to the scenario below, and then answer the following question(s).

As part of your independent study in field biology, you are sent to the seashore to take samples. In one of your samples, you discover a flexible, sessile creature. It looks somewhat plant-like, but then you notice a polyp that is producing medusa-like animals.
