Answer:

True

Explanation:

Animals can be categorized into 3 based on body symmetry

  • Those without any body symmetry (asymmetrical)
  • Those with bilateral body symmetry (bilateria)
  • Those with radial body symmetry (Radiata)

Animals can be categorized into 2 based on number of embryonic germ layer;

  • Those with two layers - endoderm and ectoderm (diplobastic)
  • Those with three layers - mesoderm in addition to ectoderm and endoderm (triploblastic)

Animals can be categorized based on presence/absence of body cavity or coelom;

  • No body cavity - acoelomates
  • False body cavity - pseudocoelomates
  • True body cavity - coelomates

Animals can be categorized into 2 based on characteristics of embryonic development;

  • Deuterostomes
  • Protosomes
