NEET Botany Question (2025) — Solution
Question
While trying to find out the characteristic of a newly found animal, a researcher did the histology of adult animal and observed a cavity with presence of mesodermal tissue towards the body wall but no mesodermal tissue was observed towards the alimentary canal. What could be the possible coelome of that animal?
Options
- A. Acoelomate
- B. Pseudocoelomate
- C. Schizocoelomate
- D. Spongocoelomate
Step-by-step solution
In pseudocoelomates, the body cavity is not entirely lined with mesoderm, instead, mesodermal tissue is present along the body wall but not towards the gut. - Schizocoelomates are animals whose coelom or body cavity develops middle from a split in the mesoderm, the middle germ layer of the embryo. - In acoelomates, coelom is absent. Spongocoel is a central cavity found in Sponges.
