Q. No.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:

| 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 |

1. Mechanoreceptors

Identify the incorrect statement regarding cyclostomes:
| 1. | Lampreys have direct development, but Hagfishes go through a larval stage followed by metamorphosis into a juvenile form. |
| 2. | Unlike jawed vertebrates, which have three semicircular canals in each inner ear, lampreys have only two and hagfishes just one. |
| 3. | The hagfish blood is isotonic with seawater, while lampreys appear to use the same gill-based mechanisms of osmoregulation as marine teleosts. |
| 4. | Both hagfishes and lampreys have a single gonad. |
