However, this is not a universal characteristic for all animals.

Correct answer: All animals develop from two dissimilar gametes

Correct answer: Diploblastic

698. Placenta develops in embryonic state in:

700. Haemoglobin is found in plasma of :

  • A. Earthworm
  • B. Sparrow
  • C. Humans
  • D. Lizard

Explanation: Haemoglobin is a protein found in the red blood cells of many animals, including humans. It is responsible for transporting oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body and returning carbon dioxide from the body to the lungs. In humans, haemoglobin is contained within the red blood cells, which are suspended in the blood plasma. While earthworms do have haemoglobin, it is dissolved in their blood plasma, unlike in humans where it is contained within cells. Birds and reptiles, such as sparrows and lizards, also have red blood cells that contain haemoglobin, rather than having it directly in the plasma.

Correct answer: Humans
