Origin of Bilateria
Origin of Bilateria
- First meta zones are very likely to radial animals
- Believed that bilateral symmetry evolved in radical ancestor when it is started creeping
There are several theories given by many scientists for the Bilateria symmetrical animals are as follows:-
1.Ctenophore polyclad Theroy :- Ctenophores provided a a bridge or intermediate forms between radiate coelonterate and ancestors and bilateral polyclad flat warms.
Based on resemblance:-
- Oval flat and shaped with dorsal ventral differentiation
- Creeping on entire ventral surface
- Presence of two dorsal tentacles
- Centrally located ventral mouth
- Radiating, anastomosing nervous system
- Swimming larval stages of polycalds have eight ciliated lobes and comparable to 8 comb rows of ctenophore
- Cleavage is biradical in ctenophore but spiral in polyclad
- Acoel flatworms are now regarded to be a most primitive
2.Planuloid-Acoeloid Theroy:- - Ludwig Von Graft formulated this theory elaborated by Hyman
- Places acoel flatworms at the base of Bilateria and suggested the origin of bilateral from a planuloid ancestor, through a acoelid larva
- Hypothetical planeload ancestor very similar to planula larva of coelenterates elongated, radially symmetrical and without mouth or archenteron
- Exterior cells are ciliated on flagellated epithelia - muscular cells, solid mass interior cells were digestive and reproductive
- There was a nerve net under the epidermis and the anterior Paul had a nervous centre
- Some planuloid ancestor may have evolved a creeping mode of life
- This is resulted in flattening out of oral a oral axis causing the development of ventral mouth
- Hollowing out of internal mass formed archentron and differentiation of anterior region produced a head with a brain in the sense organs
