Chapter 30.5, Problem 1R
Summary Introduction
To review:
The basis of the independent evolution of the nervous system in ctenophores, cnidarians, and bilaterians.
Introduction:
Ctenophores are primitive marine animals consisting of colloblasts in their tentacles and eight rows of cilia all over their body. Cnidarians are a group of animals that possesses cnidocytes in their tentacles and display two distinct body forms. Bilaterians are triploblastic animals with bilateral body symmetry with simple to complex body organization.

- Rotifers and acanthocephalans previously belonged to separate phylum. But recent molecular studies and genome analysis show that acanthocephalans are sister groups of a class under Phylum Rotifera. And thus, the two should belong to a single taxon. Aside from the molecular evidences, what morphological and physiological features of both the rotifers and acanthocephalans support this claim?
