  • Aquatic annelids like Nereis possess lateral appendages, parapodia, which help in swimming.
  • Animals of phylum Mollusca possess a mouth that contains a file-like rasping organ for feeding, called radula.
  • In animals of phylum Aschelminthes, sexes are separate (dioecious) i.e., males and females are distinct.
  • The adult echinoderms are radially symmetrical but larvae are bilaterally symmetrical.
  • Ctenophores are diploblastic organisms with a tissue level of organization.
