| 1. | Only I | 2. | Only II and III |
| 3. | Only I and II | 4. | I, II and III |
In metamerism, there is serial repetition of unit subdivisions of:
| I. | Ectoderm products |
| II. | Mesoderm products |
| III. | Endoderm products |
| 1. | Only II | 2. | Only I and II |
| 3. | Only II and III | 4. | I, II and III |

Radially symmetrical animals:
| 1. | Are all triploblastic |
| 2. | Tend to be sessile and passively floating |
| 3. | Have a definite head and a brain |
| 4. | Have an anterior and a posterior end |
Approximately what percentage of existing animal species are invertebrates?
| 1. | 20% | 2. | 50% |
