1. | All chordates possess a notochord at some stage of their life cycle. |
2. | Chordates exclusively exhibit asexual reproduction. |
3. | Chordates lack a dorsal hollow nerve cord. |
4. | Chordates are exclusively aquatic organisms. |
I: | All annelids are hermaphrodites. |
II: | Bioluminescence is well-marked in cnidarians. |
1. | Osteichthyes possess a swim bladder which aids in buoyancy, whereas Chondrichthyes lack a swim bladder and must constantly swim to avoid sinking. |
2. | Chondrichthyes have an operculum covering their gills, while Osteichthyes do not have any covering over their gill slits. |
3. | Both Osteichthyes and Chondrichthyes have a skeleton made entirely of bone, making them rigid and durable in aquatic environments. |
4. | Chondrichthyes exhibit external fertilization whereas Osteichthyes typically display internal fertilization mechanisms. |
1. | Urochordates retain their notochord throughout their life, whereas Cephalochordates lose their notochord during the larval stage. |
2. | Cephalochordates, such as lancelets, retain a notochord extending the full length of their body into adulthood, whereas Urochordates, like tunicates, only possess a notochord during their larval stage. |
3. | Both Urochordates and Cephalochordates exhibit a complex nervous system comparable to that of higher vertebrates. |
4. | Urochordates are primarily terrestrial, whereas Cephalochordates are exclusively aquatic. |
Assertion (A): | Frogs have a three-chambered heart. |
Reason (R): | All vertebrates have a three chambered heart. |
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. |
1. | Cnidarians are diploblastic, ctenophores are triploblastic. |
2. | Cnidarians are bilaterally symmetrical, ctenophores are radially symmetrical. |
3. | Cnidarians have a gastrovascular cavity, ctenophores do not. |
4. | Cnidarians possess cnidocytes, while ctenophores do not. |

Assertion (A): | Roundworms (phylum Nematoda) are pseudocoelomates. |
Reason (R): | Pseudocoelom provides protection for internal organs and facilitates movement of nutrients. |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
