Differentiate between Phylum Porifera and Clade Eumetazoa. O Poriferans have mobile gametes while eumetazoans do not. O The various cells types of Poriferans do not form permanent associations into true tissues during their life cycle, whereas Eumetazoa possess true, stable tissues. O Poriferans invert during their development whereas eumetazoans do not invert at any time during their life cycle. Poriferans have only one kind of cell during their life cycle whereas Eumetazoa have many kinds of cells throughout their life cycle. Poriferans are only haploid during their life cycle, whereas eumetazoans are diploid with haploid sex cells at various stages of their life cycle.
