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 repltiles
4. Bone of forelegs of frogs

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
Animals with the type of embryonic development shown in the given diagram are:
