While trying to find out the characteristic of a newly found animal, a researcher did the histology of adult animal and observed a cavity with presence of mesodermal tissue towards the body wall but no mesodermal tissue was observed towards the alimentary canal. What could be the possible coelome of that animal?
- ASchizocoelomate
- BSpongocoelomate
- CAcoelomate
- DPseudocoelomate

Correct answer: D
In pseudocoelomates, the body cavity features mesodermal tissue along the body wall, but it is not fully lined with mesoderm, as there is no mesodermal tissue present towards the alimentary canal.
Schizocoelomates: These animals have a body cavity, or coelom, which develops from a split within the mesoderm, the middle germ layer during embryonic development.
Acoelomates: Animals in this category lack a coelom entirely; they do not have a body cavity between their gut and body wall.
Spongocoel: This term refers to the central cavity characteristic of sponges, which are sessile aquatic animals.
