Question
Chapter 32.4, Problem 1SB
Summary Introduction
To review:
The reason behind the early lineages of the living hagfishes and lampreys in the evolution of vertebrates along with their characteristics.
Introduction:
Hagfishes and lampreys both belong to the class Agnatha and phylum Chordata. These fishes are jawless and engulf their food with the help of a sucking mouth. The notochord in lamprey is surrounded by cartilage, but notochord in hagfishes is not surrounded by any membrane. Both these fishes are eel-like and do not have fins.

How is the coelom used to differentiate among these different types of worms? Platyhelminthes exhibit a coelom only in the embryo, Annelids exhibit a coelom only in juveniles, and Nematodes exhibit a coelom in both embryos and adults. Platyhelminthes exhibit a coelom in embryos, Annelids exhibit a coelom only in juveniles and Nematodes lack a coelom. Platyhelminthes develop a coelom before the anal and oral pores develop, Annelids develop a coelom at the same time the anal and oral pores develop, and Nematodes lack a coelom. Platyhelminthes develop one coelom, Annelids develop two coelom, and Nematodes develop three coelom but then lose the one derived from mesoderm. Platyhelminthes lack a coelom, Annelids exhibit a coelom and Nematodes have a pseudocoelom.arrow_forward
