Explanation / Answer

1. A total of 35 phyla of animals known to zoologists.

3. Species that are grouped into a single group because of the similarity in accumulated anagenetic change when compared to their ancestors. Example, Birds, Mammals, etc.

4. Symmetry in animals:

i) Asymmetry : Body cannot be cut into 2 equal parts. Example: Ameoba

ii) Spherical Symmetry : Concentrically arranged body parts around a spherical body.  Example: Helizoans

iii) Radial Symmetry: If the body produces two antimeres, upon cutting  through the oro-aboral axis, then it is Radial Symmetry. Example: Hydra

iv) Biradial symmetry : Organisms having two planes of symmetry. Example: Ctenophores

v) Bilateral symmetry: Organisms haiving only one plane of symmetry. Example: Triploblastic animals

5. Plane of symmetry: Planes that separates an animal body into two equal mirror parts.

6. Characteristics of bilateral symmetry:

7. Characteristics of coelom:

8. Deuterostomes: Animals in which blastopore forms the rectum after which mouth is formed.

Protostomes: Animals in which blastopore forms the mouth after which rectum is formed.

Metamerism: Body formed by serial repetition of compartments.

Paedomorphosis: Juvenile structure are retained in mature stage when the rate of reproductive development is faster than somatic development.

Heterochrony: Evolutionary changes in the rate or timing of developmental events.
