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
Consider the two statements:
I. | Moulting may be responsible for 80 to 90% of all arthropod deaths. |
II. | The exoskeleton cannot stretch and thus restricts growth and hence moulting. |
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 |
Consider the two statements:
I. | The similarity between notochord and stomochord is due to convergent evolution. |
II. | Both arise from a common ancestry and exhibit homology. |
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 viviparous nematode is:
1. Enterobius vermicularis
2. Trichuris trichiura
3. Trichinella spiralis
4. Ascaris lumbricoides
A trochophore larva is shared by members of:
1. Molluscs and Annelids
2. Molluscs and Arthropods
3. Annelids and Arthropods
4. Molluscs and Nematodes
Biradial symmetry is most obvious in:
1. | Cnidarians | 2. | Ctenophores |
3. | Nematodes | 4. | Echinoderms |
