As a teaching assistant, you are grading lab reports and notice that in a sketch of a cross-section of a roundworm, a student labeled the space between the inner lining of the body wall and the wall of the digestive cavity as the coelom. How should you grade this label?

Label is incorrect, space is not fully enclosed by the mesoderm, so it is a body cavity, but is not the coelom

C) Mitosis occurs in both sporophyte and gametophyte stages
D) The gametophyte stage produces gametes by mitosis
E) Spore mother cells produce haploid spores by meiosis

A
