In which phylum, the coelom is formed by fusion of gut pouches during embryonic stage?

Correct answer: D. Hemichordata

  • A. Platyhelminthes
  • B. Aschelminthes
  • C. Annelida
  • D. Hemichordata

Explanation

In enterocoelous animals, the coelom is formed from pouches pinched off from the digestive tract which is also known as the embryonic gut or archenteron during the embryonic stage. This type of coelom occurs in deuterostome animals. Hemichordata is a phylum of marine deuterostome animals. So, the correct answer is 'Hemichordata'.
