Describe the shared derived characteristics that support grouping the hemichordates, chordates, and

echinoderms together as deuterostomes. What will be an ideal response?


Shared derived characteristics that support grouping the hemichordates, chordates, and echinoderms
together as deuterostomes are similarities in patterns of development as illustrated by radial,
indeterminate cleavage and blastopore development to an anus not mouth
Shared derived anatomical characteristics include endoskeletons and true coeloms.
