Annelids and mollusks share a larval stage called a?
Trochophore.
Do mollusks and annelids have the same larval stage?
Trochophore
Larval stage of mollusks and annelids?
The larval stage of mollusks is called a trochophore, which is a free-swimming, ciliated larva that eventually develops into the adult form. For annelids, the larval stage is called a trochophore or a nectochaete, which also metamorphoses into the adult form after a period of growth and development.
Do platyhelminthes have a trochophore larval stage?
No, platyhelminthes do not have a trochophore larval stage. Trochophore larvae are typically characteristic of marine annelids and mollusks. Platyhelminthes have a diverse range of reproductive strategies, but they do not generally exhibit a trochophore larval stage in their life cycle.
A characteristic shared by all mollusks and annelids is an?
have a trochophore
The fertilized eggs of both mollusks and annelids develop into a distinct larval form called a?
trochophore
What is a trochophore Describe its nature?
A trochophore is a type of free-swimming larva found in some marine invertebrates, such as mollusks and annelids. It is characterized by a band of cilia, known as the prototroch, that is used for locomotion. Trochophores typically have a distinctive body shape with a ring of cilia on the upper part of the body.
What are the evolutionary implications of a trochophore?
The trochophore larva is a common larval form found in marine invertebrates, like mollusks and annelids. Its development is thought to be evolutionarily significant as it may represent a stage in the evolution of more complex life forms. The presence of trochophore larvae in different groups suggests a shared evolutionary history and may reflect common ancestry.
Pear shaped larva found in mollusks are called?
Trochophore
What features does annelids and mollusks share?
their weirdness
What evidence indicates that annelids and mollusks are closely related?
Gene based phylogenetic studies indicate that annelids and mollusks share a recent common ancestor
What type of body cavity do mollusks have?
Annelids exhibit bilateral symmetry.
