Parazoa is a taxon at the base of the phylogenetic tree of the animal kingdom and includes the most primitive forms, characterized by not having proper tissues. The phylum/phyla included in this taxon will be:
I. Porifera | II. Cnidaria | III. Ctenophora |
1. | Only I | 2. | Only II and III |
3. | Only I and II | 4. | I, II and III |
In metamerism, there is serial repetition of unit subdivisions of:
I. Ectoderm products
II. Mesoderm products
III. Endoderm products
1. | Only II | 2. | Only I and II |
3. | Only II and III | 4. | I, II and III |
Which of the following is not a character of deuterostomes?
1. | Radial cleavage |
2. | Schizocoelous coelom |
3. | Indeterminate cleavage |
4. | Blastopore forms anus |
Radially symmetrical animals:
1. Are all triploblastic
2. Tend to be sessile and passively floating
3. Have a definite head and a brain
4. Have an anterior and a posterior end
Approximately what percentage of existing animal species are invertebrates?
1. | 20% | 2. | 50% |
3. | 70% | 4. | 95% |
Identify the correct statement:
1. All pseudocoelomates are protostomes
2. All bilaterally symmetrical animals have a coelom
3. All animals have at least a tissue grade organization
4. All radially symmetrical animals are diploblastic
