Question

Chordata is a phylum of

• A. Triploblastic
• B. Bilaterally symmetrical
• C. Enterocoelomate
• D. All of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is D All of the above

Phylum Chordata is-

Triploblastic as the embryo has three germ layers- the ectoderm, mesoderm and endoderm.

Bilaterally symmetrical as the body can be cut into two equal halves by a single plane only.

Enterocoelomate as they are the animals in which mesoderm-lined body cavity arises in the embryonic state. The mesodermal pouches of archenteron form the body cavity of the animal.

Hence D is the correct option.
