Assertion (A): | Hemichordata is a sub-phylum under phylum Chordata. |
Reason (R): | Notochord of chordates and stomochord of hemichordates are homologous. |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) correctly explains (A) |
2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) does not correctly explain (A). |
3. | (A) is True; (R) is False |
4. | Both (A) and (R) are False |
Assertion (A): | Hemichordata was earlier considered as a sub-phylum under phylum Chordata but now it is placed as a separate phylum under non-chordata. |
Reason (R): | Stomochord of hemichordates and notochord of chordates are homologous structures. |
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. |
I. | Hemichordates have a rudimentary structure in the collar region called stomochord, a structure similar to notochord. |
II. | Chordates possess a post anal tail and a closed circulatory system. |
III. | In Cephalochordata, notochord is present only in larval tail. |
IV. | In Urochordata, notochord extends from head to tail region and is persistent throughout their life. |
Assertion (A): | Hemichordates are chordates. |
Reason (R): | Notochord and stomochord are homologous. |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) correctly explains (A) |
2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) does not correctly explain (A) |
3. | (A) is True, (R) is False |
4. | Both (A) and (R) are false |
