I can help with that. Without tool access in this turn, I’ll outline the common false statement about deuterostomes and then invite you to confirm or adjust based on what you’re being given. Direct answer (likely false statement)

  • The statement that “All deuterostomes exhibit radial symmetry in their bodies” is false.

Brief explanation

  • Deuterostomes include diverse phyla such as Echinodermata (adult echinoderms often exhibit radial symmetry) and Chordata (including vertebrates, which are bilaterally symmetrical as adults). The adult body plans differ among groups, with echinoderms typically showing radial symmetry as adults but bilateral symmetry in larvae, and chordates (including humans) retaining bilateral symmetry throughout adulthood. Therefore, claiming universal radial symmetry across all deuterostomes is incorrect.

If you have a specific list of statements you’re evaluating, share them and I’ll mark which one is false with concise explanations for each.
