1. | are marine animals and have cartilaginous endoskeleton |
2. | have a mouth located dorsally |
3. | have teeth that are modified cycloid or ctenoid scales directed backwardly |
4. | have the capacity to regulate their body temperature |
1. | In males, pelvic fins bear claspers |
2. | Some of them have electric organs [Torpedo] |
3. | None of them is viviparous |
4. | Some possess poison sting [Trygon] |
1. | Mouth is ventral, teeth are modified ctenoid scales and directed forwards. |
2. | Mouth is ventral, teeth are modified placoid scales and directed backwards. |
3. | Mouth is dorsal, teeth are modified ctenoid scales and directed forwards. |
4. | Mouth is dorsal, teeth are modified placoid scales and directed backwards. |
Assertion (A): | Cartilaginous fishes have to swim continuously to avoid sinking |
Reason (R): | Cartilaginous fishes lack a swim bladder |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A) |
2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |
3. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
4. | (A) is False but (R) is False. |
Statement I: | Cartilaginous fishes have internal fertilization |
Statement II: | Many cartilaginous fishes have viviparity |
1. | Statement I is correct and Statement II is incorrect |
2. | Statement I is incorrect and Statement II is correct |
3. | Both Statement I and Statement II are correct |
4. | Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect |
I: | They have four pairs of gills which are covered by an operculum on each side. |
II: | Due to the absence of air bladder, they have to swim constantly to avoid sinking. |
III: | Skin is covered with placoid scales. |
IV: | Mouth is mostly terminal. |
1. | Only II | 2. | Only II and III |
3. | Only I and IV | 4. | Only IV |
I: | Four pairs of gills covered by an operculum on each side |
II: | Skin covered with placoid scales |
III: | Regulation of buoyancy by an air bladder |
Assertion (A): | The swim bladder is an essential organ for bony fishes. |
Reason (R): | It allows them to maintain buoyancy without expending energy. |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |
3. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
4. | (A) is False but (R) is True. |
