- A. They show bilateral symmetry
- B. They show both radial and bilateral symmetry
- C. They are all protostomes
- D. They are all deuterostomes
Explanation: Triploblastic animals are characterized by having three primary germ layers: ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm.
Correct answer: They show bilateral symmetry- A. Prawn has one pairs of antennae
- B. Nematocysts are characteristics of the phylum cnidaria
- C. Millepedes have two pairs of appendages in each segment of the body
- D. Animals belonging to phylum porifera are marine and fresh water
Explanation: Prawns have two pairs of antennae, one on either side, just below the antennules. They are sensory, excretory, and balancing in function.
Correct answer: Prawn has one pairs of antennae- A. Running birds
- B. Migratory birds
- C. Flightless birds
- D. Four-toed birds
Explanation: The ostrich, penguin, and kiwi are all flightless birds. This category best captures their shared trait of being unable to fly, though…
Correct answer: Flightless birds- A. Sac type digestive system
- B. Well-developed respiratory system
- C. Parenchyma fills the body space
- D. Well-developed excretory system
Explanation: The correct answer is Option B: Well-developed respiratory system. Acoelomates, such as those in Phylum Platyhelminthes, lack a…
Correct answer: Well-developed respiratory system- A. Coelom
- B. Gastrocoel
- C. Pseudocoelom
- D. Spongocoel
Explanation: The coelom is a true body cavity that is entirely lined by mesodermal tissue, providing space for the development and suspension of…
Correct answer: Coelom- A. Pinworm
- B. Starfish
- C. Cake urchin
- D. Amphioxus
Explanation: Spiral and determinate cleavage is a feature of protostomes, a group that includes organisms such as annelids, mollusks, and nematodes.
Correct answer: Pinworm- A. Bilaterally symmetrical
- B. Triploblastic metazoan
- C. Dorsoventrally compressed body
- D. Radially symmetrical body
Explanation: The correct answer is 'Radially symmetrical body'. Phylum Platyhelminthes is characterized by bilateral symmetry, meaning there is only…
Correct answer: Radially symmetrical body- A. Flat worms
- B. Roundworms
- C. Segmented worms
- D. None
Explanation: Word Platyhelminthes (derived from the Greek platy, meaning "flat" while helminth meaning "worm") are a phylum of relatively simple…
Correct answer: Flat worms- A. Robin
- B. Kestrel
- C. Eagle
- D. Kiwi
Explanation: The kiwi is the best-known example of a bird in which both ovaries are functional.Kiwis are primitive, flightless birds (ratites), and…
Correct answer: Kiwi- A. Dugesia
- B. Schistostoma
- C. Fasciola
- D. Taenia
Explanation: Taenia: Has proglottids. Taenia is a type of tapeworm, and proglottids are segments of its body containing reproductive organs.
Correct answer: Taenia- A. Hydrocarbons
- B. Organic molecules
- C. Chemicals
- D. All of these
Explanation: An animal's survival does depend on its ability to take chemicals from the environment.
Correct answer: Chemicals- A. Muscle tissues
- B. Hydrostatic skeleton
- C. Parapodia
- D. Bones
Explanation: The locomotory organs in annelids include parapodia, suckers, and setae. Annelids are segmented worms that belong to the phylum Annelida.
Correct answer: Parapodia- A. Triploblastic
- B. Bilateral Symmetry
- C. Coelomate
- D. Flatworms
Explanation: Platyhelminthes are not coelomates; instead, they are acoelomates. They lack a true body cavity between the body wall and the digestive…
Correct answer: Coelomate- A. Peritandrous
- B. Pertandrous
- C. Protonema
- D. Protandrous
Explanation: Protandry is a reproductive strategy where an organism starts as a male and later becomes a female.
Correct answer: Protandrous- A. Nephridia
- B. Flame cells
- C. Malpighian tubules
- D. Nephron
Explanation: The excretory system of Platyhelminthes consists of flame cells because these specialized cells help remove metabolic waste from the…
Correct answer: Flame cells- A. Gastropoda
- B. Cephalopoda
- C. Bivalvia
- D. None of these
Explanation: The garden snail is a part of the class Gastropoda within the phylum Mollusca.
Correct answer: Gastropoda- A. Spicules
- B. Choanocytes
- C. Gemmules
- D. Both Options A and B are correct
Explanation: Spicules are the structural components of a sponge, or the "bricks," and the shapes, sizes, and composition are unique for each…
Correct answer: Gemmules- A. Acoelomates
- B. Pseudococlomates
- C. Aeoclomates and Pscudocoelomates
