**1. Levels of Organisation** Complexity of cells Cellular = *Spongilla*, Tissue = *Hydra*, Organ = *Fasciola*, Organ system = Annelids to Chordates Sponges = No tissue level
**2. Symmetry** Body division into halves Asymmetrical = Sponges, Radial = *Hydra*, *Adamsia*, *Aurelia*, Bilateral = Annelids to Chordates Adult *Asterias* = Radial but larva = Bilateral
**3. Germ Layers** Embryonic layers Diploblastic = Ectoderm + Endoderm = Coelenterates, Ctenophora. Triploblastic = Ecto + Meso + Endo = Platyhelminthes to Chordates Mesoglea in coelenterates is undifferentiated

**5. Segmentation** Repetition of body parts Metameric segmentation = External + Internal = *Earthworm*, *Cockroach*, *Frog* Metamerism ≠ Pseudometamerism in Tapeworm
**6. Notochord** Mesodermally derived rod Present in Chordates at some stage. Absent in Non-chordates Notochord replaced by vertebral column in Vertebrata
