Which of the following pairs is an incorrect match?
- Annelids and arthropods-Bilateral symmetry
- Sponges-Acoelomates
- Coelenterates and Ctenophores-Radial symmetry
- Platyhelminthes-Diploblastic organisation
Answer
(4) Platyhelminthes-Diploblastic organisation
Solution
Annelids and arthropods are bilaterally symmetrical – correct.
Sponges have no body cavity (coelom) – correct.
Coelenterates and ctenophores are radially symmetrical – correct.
Platyhelminthes are triploblastic (with mesoderm), not diploblastic; diploblastic organisation is seen in coelenterates and ctenophores – incorrect match.
