Essay Sample answers:
1. Answers will vary but characteristics should include presence of backbones, exoskeleton, internal fertilization, internal gestation, presence of a marsupial pouch, mammary glands or gills.
2. The insect is most different. It’s exoskeleton separates it at the phylum level from the vertebrates.
3. The frogs would be similar in their overall body plan, reproductive methods (internal fertilization, external gestation) and developmental pattern (egg, tadpole, mature frog.) They could be different in color, size, voice, mating behavior or food preferences.
