The phylum Cycliophora are tiny organisms that live in large numbers on the outsides of the mouthparts and appendages of lobster
s. The feeding stage permanently attaches to the lobster via an adhesive disk and collects scraps of food from its host's feeding by capturing the scraps in a current created by a ring of cilia. The body is saclike and has a U-shaped intestine that brings it'sanus close to the mouth. Cycliophorans are coelomates, do not molt (though their host does), and their embryos undergo spiral cleavage. Basing your inferences on information in the paragraph, to which clades should cycliophorans belong? I answered it was b. Eumetazoa and Lophotrochozoa. I just have a difficult time reading the trees and I wanted to check :) a.Metazoa and diploblasts
b. Eumetazoa and Lophotrochozoa
c. Deuterostomia and Ecdysozoa
d. Deuterostomia and Lophotrochozoa
e. Bilateria and Echinodermata
The difference between the lophotrochozoa and deuterostomia is the way they develop on the cigote phase.
Lophotrochozoa are a clase that has a spyral shape.
The literature mentions that the phylum Cycliophora are coelomates and their embryos undergo spyral cleavage which is a common characteristic of the Lophotrochozoa.
The Eumetazoa clase are conformed on organisms whit his own tissues and the phylum Cycliophora has a "U-shaped intestine that brings it´s sanus close to the mouth".
In conclusion, the correct answer is that the phylum Cycliophora gets into the clases Eumetazoa and Lophotrochozoa.
<span> c. the bacteria that live in the intestine of a rabbit. The word biotic means anything pertaining to life. In ecology, the biotic factors refer to activities that of living organisms that affect other living organisms in the habitat.</span>
