The correct Answer is:
To classify Myxine correctly, follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Phylum**: Myxine belongs to the phylum Chordata. This is because it possesses a notochord at some stage of its development. 2. **Determine the Subphylum**: Within the phylum Chordata, Myxine is classified under the subphylum Craniata (or Vertebrata), which includes animals with a skull. 3. **Classify Based on Jaw Presence**: Chordates are further divided based on the presence or absence of jaws. Myxine does not have jaws, so it falls under the category of Agnatha (jawless vertebrates). 4. **Identify the Class**: Within the Agnatha, Myxine is classified in the class Cyclostomata. This class includes living jawless fish, such as lampreys and hagfish (which includes Myxine). 5. **Final Classification**: Therefore, the correct classification of Myxine is: - Phylum: Chordata - Subphylum: Craniata - Group: Agnatha - Class: Cyclostomata ### Conclusion: The correct classification of Myxine is Chordata > Craniata > Agnatha > Cyclostomata.
