Phyla that have only two germ layers are Cnidaria and Ctenophora. These phyla are considered diploblastic, meaning they develop from two embryonic germ layers: endoderm and ectoderm. organs. This is in contrast to triploblastic animals, which have three germ layers (endoderm, mesoderm, and ectoderm).

Which phyla have only two tissue layers?

The answer is probably sponges.


How many germ layers do pigs have?

Three cell layers known as the ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm. They are also referred to as the primary germ layers, because all of the organs and tissues of the embryo will be formed from them.

No they do not. I am not certain as to whether they have 0 or 2 germ layers but it is one of the two.

What is diploblast?

An animal derived from only two germ layers are called diploblastic animals. Eg: Poriferans, Coelenterates.


What is germ layers?

A germ layer, occasionally referred to as a germinal epithelium, is a group of cells, formed during animal embryogenesis. Germ layers are particularly pronounced in the vertebrates; however, all animals more complex than sponges (eumetazoans and agnotozoans) produce two or three primary tissue layers (sometimes called primary germ layers). Animals with radial symmetry, like cnidarians, produce two germ layers (the ectoderm and endoderm) making them diploblastic. Animals with bilateral symmetry produce a third layer between these two layers (appropriately called the mesoderm) making them triploblastic. Germ layers eventually give rise to all of an animal's tissues and organs through the process of organogenesis.


Are jellyfish diploblastic?

They are triploblastic because they are apart of the phyla Echinodermata. If you look at the animal phylogenetic tree you can see that starfish are apart of the triploblasts. The difference between diploblastic and triploblastic is that diploblastic have two germ layers during development which are the ectoderm and endoderm. Triploblastic animals (like starfish, and humans) have three germ layers which are the ectoderm (outside), mesoderm (middle) and endoderm (inside).


How do the germ layers of radiata and other eumetazoa differ?

Radiata contain two germ layers including the ectoderm and the endoderm, other Eumetazoa differ in that they have an additional layer called the mesoderm.

Sponges have two germ layers therefore they are diploblastic.
