Identify the option where all the columns are not correctly matched:
Animal | Phylum | Features | |
1. | Pleurobrachia | Ctenophora | Comb plates, Only sexual reproduction |
2. | Loligo | Mollusca | Radula, Dioecious |
3. | Balanoglossus | Hemichordata | Respiration by gills, Proboscis gland |
4. | Ascidia | Chordata | Marine, Notochord persistent throughout life |
Identify the incorrectly matched pair:
Animals | Feature present in both | |
1. | Balanoglossus and Pinctada | Open circulatory system |
2. | Branchiostoma and Ascidia | Persistent notochord |
3. | Aplysia and Pheretima | True coelom |
4. | Gorgonia and Pennatula | Cnidoblasts |
The character that gives the Phylum Chordata is shown by:
1. A
2. B
3. C
4. D
Consider the following statements:
Chordates-
I. Possess a solid, single and ventral nerve cord
II. Have pharyngeal gill slits at some point during their development.
III. Have post-anal tail
Which of the above statements are true?
1 I and II only
2. I and III only
3. II and III only
4. I, II and III
Which of the following is not an excretory structure found in invertebrates?
1. Flame cells
2. Malpighian tubules
3. Nephridia
4. Kidney
The presence of notochord in the larval tail is a characteristic of
(1) Doliolum
(2) Branchiostoma
(3) Balanoglossus
(4) Petromyzon
Identify the chordates in which the notochord persists in the adult?
(1) Tunicates
(2) Lancelets
(3) Cyclostomata
(4) Bony fishes
Which of the following would be a characteristic of the animal shown in the given diagram?
1. Excretory organ is the proboscis gland.
2. They migrate for spawning to fresh water.
3. Notochord is present only in the larval tail.
4. Parapodia are present for swimming.
False statement with respect to Ascidia is
1. Present exclusively in marine water
2. It is a urochordate and notochord is present only in larval tail
3. It is a vertebrate because it has a notochord
4. It is a protochordate
All vertebrates are chordates but all chordates are not vertebrates, why?
1. | Notochord is replaced by a vertebral column in the adults of some chordates. |
2. | The ventral hollow nerve cord remains throughout life in some chordates. |
3. | All chordates possess a vertebral column. |
4. | All chordates possess notochords throughout their lives. |
