Ascarisis characterized by which of the following?

Correct answer: B. Absence of true coelom and metamerism

  • A. Presence of true coelom and metamerism
  • B. Absence of true coelom and metamerism
  • C. Presence of true coelom but the absence of metamerism
  • D. Absence of true coelom but presence of metamerism, is also incorrect because Ascaris lacks metamerism as well.

Explanation

Ascaris does not have a true coelom. Ascaris is an example of a pseudocoelomate organism. It possesses a pseudocoelom, which is a body cavity that is not entirely lined by mesoderm. This is in contrast to true coelomates, where the body cavity is completely lined by mesoderm.
