Q. The fluid-filled cavity in a blastula is calle

  • (A) Coelom
  • (B) Blastocoel
  • (C) neurocoel
  • (D) gastrocoel

Explanation by: Admin

The blastocoel is the fluid-filled cavity that forms inside the blastula during early embryonic development. It provides space for cell movement and plays a crucial role in gastrulation, the process that leads to the formation of different germ layers.

  • (A) Coelom → The body cavity formed later in development, lined by mesoderm.
  • (C) Neurocoel → The cavity within the neural tube, which later forms the brain and spinal cord.
  • (D) Gastrocoel → The primitive gut cavity formed during gastrulation, also called archenteron.

Thus, the correct answer is (B) Blastocoel.
