[Animal-Kingdom] [class-xi]

Correct option: B   [ B ]

Remark: • Pila (apple snail) is a Mollusc (Mollusca).
• Asterias (star fish) is an Echinoderm (Echinodermata).
• Nereis is an Annelid (Annelida).

Q303.

List-I (Term) List-II (Description)

(b) Acoelomateii) Body cavity is not lined by mesoderm
(c) Pseudocoelomateiii) Body cavity is lined by mesoderm
(d) Diploblasticiv) Cells arranged in two embryonic layers

[Animal-Kingdom] [class-xi]

Correct option: A   [ A ]

Remark: • Coelomate animals possess a coelom: a body cavity lined by mesoderm.
• Acoelomate animals have no body cavity.
• Pseudocoelomate animals have a body cavity that is not lined by mesoderm.
• Diploblastic animals have two embryonic layers (ectoderm and endoderm).
Q304.

List-I (Class) List-II (Heart Chambers)
(a) Pisces (Fishes)i) 3-chambered
(b) Amphibiaii) 4-chambered
(c) Reptilia (most)iii) 2-chambered
(d) Aves (Birds)iv) Usually 3-chambered

[Animal-Kingdom] [class-xi]

Correct option: C   [ C ]

Remark: • Pisces (fishes) possess a 2-chambered heart (one auricle, one ventricle).
• Amphibia typically have a 3-chambered heart (two atria, one ventricle).
• Most Reptilia have a 3-chambered heart (except crocodilians which have 4).
• Aves have a 4-chambered heart.
Q305.

List-I (Structure) List-II (Phylum)
(a) Parapodiai) Mollusca
(b) Radulaii) Ctenophora
(c) Comb platesiii) Annelida
(d) Water vascular systemiv) Echinodermata

[Animal-Kingdom] [class-xi]

Correct option: B   [ B ]

Remark: • Parapodia are lateral appendages characteristic of certain annelids (e.g., Nereis).
• Radula is the rasping feeding organ of Mollusca.
• Comb plates are rows of ciliated plates in Ctenophora used for locomotion.
• Water vascular system is the distinctive feature of Echinodermata.

[Animal-Kingdom] [class-xi]

Correct option: A   [ A ]

Remark: • Petromyzon (lamprey) belongs to Cyclostomata.
• Scoliodon (dogfish) is a Chondrichthyan.
• Hippocampus (seahorse) is an Osteichthyan.
• Chameleon is a Reptile (Reptilia).
Q307.

List-I (Feature) List-II (Group)
(a) Dry and cornified skini) Aves
(b) Moist skin without scalesii) Mammalia
(c) Presence of feathersiii) Reptilia
(d) Presence of hairiv) Amphibia

[Animal-Kingdom] [class-xi]

Correct option: D   [ D ]

Remark: • Reptilia: body covered by dry and cornified skin with epidermal scales or scutes.
• Amphibia: skin moist and without scales.
• Aves: presence of feathers is the defining feature.
• Mammalia: presence of hair on skin.

(a) Protochordatei) Trygon
(b) Jawless vertebrateii) Ichthyophis
(c) Cartilaginous fishiii) Myxine
(d) Limbless amphibiaiv) Salpa

[Animal-Kingdom] [class-xi]

Correct option: A   [ A ]

Remark: • Protochordate: Salpa is an example of Urochordata (protochordate).
• Jawless vertebrate: Myxine (hagfish) is a jawless vertebrate (Cyclostomata).
