Bilaterally symmetrical and acoelomate animals are exemplified by:
1. Platyhelminthes
2. Aschelminthes
3. Annelida
4. Ctenophora
| A: | Platyhelminthes are triploblastic, pseudocoelomate and bilaterally symmetrical organisms. |
| B: | Ctenophores reproduce only sexually and fertilization is external. |
| C: | In tapeworm, fertilization is internal but sexes are not separate. |
| D: | Ctenophores are exclusively marine, diploblastic and bioluminescent organisms. |
| E: | In sponges, fertilization is external and development is direct. |
| 1. | (A), (C) and (D) only | 2. | (B), (C) and (D) only |
| 3. | (A) and (E) only | 4. | (B) and (D) only |
| Assertion (A): | The digestive system in Platyhelminthes is called incomplete. |
| Reason (R): | Platyhelminthes are mostly endoparasites found in animals including human beings. |
| 1. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
| 2. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
| 3. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |
| 4. | (A) is False but (R) is True. |
