The Animal Book Chapter 1: Animal characteristics Chapter 2: Body Parts Body plans refer to similarities in development, structure, and function among members of a particular group (phylum). At some point, members of that group share the same body plan during their development process.

Remarkably, the day before I had secured a promising second place ribbon. That had been my first time in the show ring and I was happy just not to have walked out in shame.
