A recent study involving one class of these organisms involved analysis of the 18s rDNA to determine synapomorphies between members of this phylum. That class, Tubellaria, generally exhibit ciliated epidermal tissue, and like other classes of this phylum is triploblastic and bilaterally symmetric. Members of this phylum are hermaphroditic, and some organisms of this phylum engage in penis fencing. Some classes of this largest phylum of aceolomates reproduce asexually, and may be cut in half to yield two organisms. For t

Members of this phylum are hermaphroditic, and some organisms of this phylum engage in penis fencing. Some classes of this largest phylum of aceolomates reproduce asexually, and may be cut in half to yield two organisms. For ten points, identify this phylum with members like flukes and tapeworms, often referred to as flatworms.
