Molecular-based phylogies place the phylum Platyhelminthes in the Protostomia. How do scientists best explain the morphological differences between flatworms and the other members of the Lophotrochozoa?

Platyhelminthes originated from ancestors with a coelom and have retained it to the present time. D.
