Sycon belongs to a group of animals, which are best described as
- unicellular or acellular
- multicellular without any tissue organization
- multicellular with a gastrovascular system
- multicellular having tissue organization, but no body cavity.
Answer
(2) multicellular without any tissue organization
Solution
Sycon (Scypha) is a sponge — Phylum Porifera.
As per NCERT, members of Phylum Porifera are multicellular animals with a cellular level of organisation; true tissues are absent.
∵ A gastrovascular cavity is found in coelenterates, and tissue level without a body cavity in coelenterates / flatworms.
∴ Sycon is multicellular without any tissue organisation.
