Flatworms have no coelom. Recent gene sequencing shows that their closest relatives are the rotifers and gastrotrichs (which are pseudocoelomate), the bryozoans (which are coelomate), and the entoprocts (which are acoelomate). Which of the following is a legitimate conclusion? Flatworms, rotifers, and gastrotrichs form a monophyletic group. Flatworms and bryozoans form a monophyletic group. Flatworms and entoprocts form a monophyletic group. Bryozoans, rotifers, and gastrotrichs form a monophyletic group. There must be flaws in the gene sequence analyses.

Figure 15.3 Which of the following statements is false? a. Eumetazoa have specialized tissues and Parazoa do not. b. Both acoelomates and pseudocoelomates have a body cavity. c. Chordates are more closely related to echinoderms than to rotifers according to the figure. d. Some animals have radial symmetry, and some animals have bilateral symmetry.
Members of Chondrichfhyes are thought to be descended from fishes that had. a cartilaginous skeleton a bony skeleton mucus glands slime glands
Within the subphylum Urochordata is a group called the appendicularians (or larvaceans; class Appendicularia). This relatively obscure group of organisms plays an important role in the global carbon cycle and other biogeochemical processes in the ocean. Use library and Internet resources to research the natural history of these unique invertebrate chordates. What do they eat? How do they capture food?
Which of the following is NOT a part of the medusa form of cnidarian? Answers: Gastrodermis Tentacle Mesoglea Body stalk These are all parts of the medusa form of cnidarians.
An unidentified animal is noted to possess the following characteristics: triploblastic eucoelomate body a cuticle that is shed via ecdysis To which of the following phyla does this organism belong? Group of answer choices A. Echinodermata B. Annelida C. Arthropoda D. Nematoda
Which of the following classes includes the only type of echinoderm that has a calyx on a stalk? Echinoidea Holothuroidea Ophiuroidea Asteroidea Crinoidea
You are trying to identify a living organism which you are observing closely. Which one of the following would convince you that the organism is acoelomate? It responds to food by moving toward it. It is triploblastic. It has bilateral symmetry. It possesses sensory structures at its anterior end. Muscular activity of its digestive system distorts the body wall. The flatworms have a true coelom a pseudocoelom radial symmetry tissues derived from the three basic germ layers (i.e. they are triploblastic) need help with both questions for my HW please thank you!
