The structure marked as ‘S’ in the given diagram helps bony fishes in:
1. | Oxygenation of blood |
2. | Achieving neutral buoyancy |
3. | Increasing absorptive surface area for food |
4. | Protection of the nerve cord |
The bone structure in the following diagram shows:
1. | Adaptation for flight in birds |
2. | Presence of excess of the hemopoietic tissue in mammals |
3. | Rudimentary limb bones in some reptiles |
4. | Bone of forelegs of frogs |

The following schematic diagram of a part of skeleton can be that of a/an:
1. | Amphibian | 2. | Reptile |
3. | Bird | 4. | Mammal |
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. |
Biradial symmetry is most obvious in:
1. | Cnidarians | 2. | Ctenophores |
3. | Nematodes | 4. | Echinoderms |
Consider the two statements:
I: | Platyhelminthes are restricted to environments where dehydration is unlikely. |
II: | They are dorso-ventrally flattened. |
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
