All deuterostomes share a distinct embryonic development pattern where the blastopore becomes the anus, while the mouth forms later. They also exhibit radial cleavage during early cell division, and their embryonic cells are typically indeterminate, allowing for more flexible development. Additionally, deuterostomes include major phyla such as chordates and echinoderms, which display complex body structures and systems.
