Schizocoelomates and enterocoelomates are
Correct option is C. true coelomates
- The true coelom is categorized into two types- schizocoelom and enterocoelom. They are categorized based on ways in which true body cavity or coelom arises in different animals.
- Schizocoelom arises from the mesodermal split. This body cavity is formed from blocks of mesoderm around the gut that enlarge and hollow out. Example- animals belonging to the Phyla Annelida, Mollusca, and Arthropoda.
- Enterocoelom arises from outpocketing of the embryonic gut(endoderm). This type of body cavity is formed by outpocketings of the primitive gut that break off and form the coelom. Example- animals belonging to the Phyla Echinodermata and Chordata.
- Hence Schlzocoelomates and enterocoelomates are true coelomates.
- So, the correct answer is 'True coelom'.
