The distinction between protostome and deuterostome is given more emphasis by the morphological phylogeny than by the molecular phylogeny, as molecular sequences are more conserved in these organisms and sometimes do not show clear differences between these two groups. Morphological characteristics, such as embryonic development, body symmetry, and nervous system organization, can help distinguish protostomes and deuterostomes.
