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
This type of egg cannot belong to a/an:

3. | Bird | 4. | Mammal |
As you can see from the given pie chart, over 70% of Mammalia species come from a single order. Which order of class mammalian is this?
1. | Rodentia | 2. | Chiroptera |
3. | Carnivora | 4. | Primata |
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:
1. Holometabolous
2. Paurometabolous
3. Protostomes
4. Dueterostomes
Consider the two statements:
I: | The development of an AP axis in animals with bilateral symmetry is important in locomotion. |
II: | Bilateral symmetry gives the body an intrinsic direction and allows streamlining to reduce drag. |
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
