Gut of acoelomates develop from:

Correct answer: B. Endoderm

  • A. Mesoderm
  • B. Endoderm
  • C. Mesoglea
  • D. Ectoderm

Explanation

Option B is correct.The gut of acoelomates develops from the endoderm. The endoderm is the innermost of the three germ layers that form during embryonic development. It gives rise to the lining of the gut, as well as the liver, pancreas, and thyroid gland. Acoelomates are a group of animals that lack a true body cavity. This means that the gut is not surrounded by a layer of tissue called the peritoneum. Instead, the gut is in direct contact with the body wall. There are three main types of acoelomates: platyhelminthes, gastrotrichs, and rotifers
