      Define the terms and give one example of each (a) Bilateral symmetry                                   (b) Coelom                         (c) Triploblastic

    Answer:

      (a) The animals with bilateral symmetry are put in group bilateria. The body can be divided into two identical right and left halves in only one plane, e.g., platyhelminthes, annelids, arthropods, etc. (b) Coelom is the body cavity present between the body wall and the gut wall. Presence or absence of coelom is very important basis of classification. (i) Acoeiornate Coeiom is absent, e.g... poriferous, coelentrates, ctenophores and flatworms. (ii) Pseudocoelornate The body cavity is not lined by mesoderm instead it is present as scattered pouches in between mesoderm and endoderm. e.g., round worms. (iii) Eucoelomate Presence of true coelom. True coelom is of two types Schizocoelom Develops by splitting up of mesoderm. (iii) Enterocoelom The mesoderm arises from wall of embryonic gut. (c) Germ layers gives rise to all the tissues/organs of the fully formed individuals. On the basis of number of germ layers animals can be (i) Diplobiastic The body cells are arranged in two layers on outer ectoderm and on inner endoderm, e. g.. Coelentrates, (ii )Tripioblastic Body wail of animals is made up of three germ layers i.e., ectoderm, mesoderm and endoderm e.g., Piatyhelminthes to chordates.
