Question

Mesoglea occurs between

• A. Ectoderm and endoderm
• B. Ectoderm and mesoderm
• C. Mesoderm and endoderm
• D. Just below mesoderm

Answer 1

The correct option is A Ectoderm and endoderm

In the body of Cnidarians and Sponges, there occurs a translucent, jelly-like, non-living substance called mesoglea. This is found between the two cell layers ectoderm and endoderm. As, the mesoglea is not a true cell-layer, the Cndarians are referred to as diploblastic animals.

So, the correct answer is 'Ectoderm and Endoderm'.
