Protostome or Deuterostome ? 

Expert Solution
Protostome and Deuterostome

Metazoans are classified into protostomia and deuterostomia based on the embryonic development. 

Protostome

  • It consists of a solid ventral cord.
  • The blastopore develops into a mouth.
  • It shows determinate cleavage.
  • The gut forms the anus by itself.

Deuterostomia

  • It consists of a hollow ventral cord.
  • The blastopore develops into an anal opening. 
  • It shows indeterminate cleavage.
  • The gut forms the mouth by itself.
