Common mistakes in Basis of classification - symmetry, coelom and germ layers

Recorded against questions in this topic that are not shown above, so none of these points at an answer you can see on this page.

  • Uses the presence of any plane of symmetry to label the animal bilateral.
  • Calls any body cavity a true coelom.
  • Interchanges absence of a cavity, pseudocoel and true coelom.
  • Uses one criterion such as symmetry and ignores germ layers and coelom.
