🔬 Biology  ·  Animal Kingdom  ·  NEET

Which of the following correctly matches the phylum with its type of symmetry?

  • A Porifera, exhibiting bilateral body symmetry overall
  • B Echinodermata adults, radial symmetry
  • C Annelida, exhibiting radial body symmetry overall
  • D Platyhelminthes, lacking any defined body symmetry

Correct answer: B. Echinodermata adults, radial symmetry

Explanation: Echinodermata show radial symmetry as adults but bilateral symmetry as larvae. Porifera is generally asymmetrical, and Annelida and Platyhelminthes show bilateral symmetry.

Concept context

Phylum-level classification of the animal kingdom from Porifera to Chordata, based on body symmetry, coelom, and segmentation. One of the most example-heavy chapters for NEET.
