Consider the two statements:
I: | The development of an AP axis in animals with bilateral symmetry is important in locomotion. |
II: | Bilateral symmetry gives the body an intrinsic direction and allows streamlining to reduce drag. |
1. Both I and II are correct and II explains I
2. Both I and II are correct but II does not explain I
3. Only I is correct
4. Both I and II are incorrect
Animals with the type of embryonic development shown in the given diagram are:
1. Holometabolous
2. Paurometabolous
3. Protostomes
4. Dueterostomes
Conchiolin is:
1. | A protein used in synthesis of shell by mollusks |
2. | A respiratory pigment seen in some arthropods |
3. | A toxin released by certain dinoflagellates |
4. | A secondary metabolite produced by plants to avoid herbivory |
Most corals obtain the majority of their energy and nutrients from photosynthetic zooxanthellae that are:
1. Dinoflagellates
2. Diatoms
3. Cyanobacteria
4. Chlamydomonas
During the embryonic development in echinoderms:
1. | left side of the body of bilaterally symmetrical larva grows at the expense of the right side |
2. | right side of the body of bilaterally symmetrical larva grows at the expense of the left side |
3. | the posterior part of the body undergoes torsion and comes to anterior end |
4. | the anterior part of the body undergoes torsion and comes to posterior end |
The body structure of a porifer shown in the given diagram is:
1. Asconoid
2. Syconoid
3. Leuconoid
4. Mucoid
A mutable collagenous tissue is seen in the members of:
1. Cnidaria
2. Platyhelminthes
3. Mollusks
4. Echinoderms
Consider the two statements:
I: | Platyhelminthes are restricted to environments where dehydration is unlikely. |
II: | They are dorso-ventrally flattened. |
1. Both I and II are correct and II explains I
2. Both I and II are correct but II does not explain I
3. Only I is correct
4. Both I and II are incorrect
A unique feature in nematodes is:
1. Moulting of cuticle
2. A blind sac body plan
3. Females are much smaller than males
4. Projections run from the inner surface of muscle cells towards the nerve cords
