ANIMAL DIVERSITY

Exercise solutions

1) Taenia being a platyhelminth is the first triploblast organism as platyhelminths are the
first triploblastic animals in order of phylums of animal kingdom.

2) Metagenesis is the phenomenon of alternation of generations shown by


coelenterates/cnidarians in which they grow from polyps to medusae and vice versa.

3) Doliolum being tunicate has an open circulatory system.


Trichinella being aschelminthes is a pseudocoelomate
Meandrina and antedon have radial symmetry
Meandrine being cnidarian is a diploblast

4) Hydra and planaria being organisms with high regenerative power, if we cut them into n
pieces, then regeneration will occur in all n parts.

5) All the characteristics mentioned are of a nematoda and option A (filirial form) is a
nematoda.

6) All vertebrates are chordates , but all chordates are not vertebrates as chordates include
tunicata, vertebrata and urochordata.

7) Option c is totally incorrect as humans do possess notochord at beginning of life stage.

8) Ichthyophis is the cyclostome showing anadromous migration which means they


themselves are marine but spawn their eggs in freshwater and larvae come back to the
ocean.

9) In chondrichthyes, male pelvic fins bear claspers which function as copulatory organs.

10) Pelvic fins bearing claspers is a feature of chondrichthyes , not osteichthyes.

11) Poriferans have a water transport or canal system, are hermaphrodites and show internal
fertilization.

12) Annelids and arthropods have ventral nerve cord and show metamerism.
13) Stomochord origins from ectoderm and echinoderms possess a water vascular system.

14) Betta(osteichthyes) possess air bladder


myxine(cyclostome) haas 6-15 pairs of gills
Pavo (parrot) has a pygostyle
Ornithorhynchus (platypus) is a prototherian mammal

15) Crop and gizzard are present in all aves without any exception.

16) Flame cells are not present in molluscs rather are present in flatworms.
Green glands are present in arthropods

17) Leech is an annelid belonging from class hidurinea


Lobster is an arthropoda belonging from class crustacean

18) Roundworms are pseudocoelomate; Earthworms are coelomate; Flatworm are acoelomate

19) Ancestral amniotes are divided into reptiles and mammals


Turtles are placed in different class as compared to crocodiles and snakes
Birds arise from a different lineage and more closer to crocodile than snakes.

20) Auricularia is the larval form of sea cucumber


Zoea is the larval form of crab

21) Nematocysts are present in coelenterates which help in capturing prey


Protonephridia are present in platyhelminthes which help in excretion
Malpighian tubules are present in arthropods for excretion
Radula is present in molluscs for food processing

22) stapes is a hyomandibular bone; incus is a quadrate ; malleus is an articular bone

23) Vertebrates and tunicates share a notochord and a dorsal, hollow nerve cord.

24) Vertebrates are divided into gnathostomes and cyclostomes

25) Living tetrapod is a sturdy-finned, shallow-water lobe-fin whose appendages had skeletal
supports similar to those of terrestrial vertebrates

26) All three being molluscs share a mantle as it is present in all molluscs without any
exception
27) Arthropoda, annelids and chordates have segmented body

28) Water vascular system of the molluscs functions in locomotion, gas exchange and
feeding.

29) Porifera doesn't have a coelom


Nematoda doesn't have an internal skeleton
Echinoderms larvae are bilateral

30) Porifera, Lophotrochozoa and deuterostomia does not belong to eumetazoans.

31) Cyclostomes possess 6-15 pairs of gills.


Rest three statements are correct

32) Pinus is monoecious


Echinoderms are triploblastic

33) Medusae and gametes of the cnidarians aren’t genetically identical


Medusae produces germ cells, so they reproduce sexually and polyps reproduce
asexually.

34) The clownfish is a coelenterate which possesses nematocysts,a specialized cell in the
tentacles of a jellyfish or other coelenterate, containing a barbed or venomous coiled
thread that can be projected in self-defense or to capture prey.
