8 questions from the practice bank, spread across the chapter's topics. The full set is in the app.

Question 1: Basis of Classification

Metamerism refers to:

  1. A the presence of a notochord
  2. B the body with no segments
  3. C the body being externally and internally divided into segments with a serial repetition of at least some organs
  4. D the radial symmetry

Answer: C. the body being externally and internally divided into segments with a serial repetition of at least some organs

Why: For example, the earthworm.

Question 2: Phylum-Level Characteristics

The circulatory system of arthropods is:

  1. A absent
  2. B double
  3. C open
  4. D closed

Answer: C. open

Why: The body cavity is the haemocoel filled with the blood.

Question 3: Basis of Classification

Animals with a true body cavity completely lined by mesoderm are called:

  1. A acoelomates
  2. B pseudocoelomates
  3. C coelomates
  4. D diploblastic

Answer: C. coelomates

Why: Coelomates possess a true coelom — a body cavity completely lined by mesoderm on both sides.

Question 4: Phylum-Level Characteristics

Which of the following is the annelid commonly called the 'blood sucker'?

  1. A the leech, Hirudinaria
  2. B the earthworm, Pheretima
  3. C the Aphrodite
  4. D the Nereis

Answer: A. the leech, Hirudinaria

Why: Pheretima is the earthworm.

Question 5: Basis of Classification

Animals in which the body can be cut into two equal halves along the central axis through any plane show:

  1. A bilateral symmetry
  2. B a metamerism
  3. C asymmetry
  4. D radial symmetry, e.g. Coelenterates, Ctenophores and Echinoderms

Answer: D. radial symmetry, e.g. Coelenterates, Ctenophores and Echinoderms

Why: Bilateral symmetry has one plane.

Question 6: Phylum-Level Characteristics

The excretory organs of the annelids are:

  1. A the nephridia
  2. B the green glands
  3. C the Malpighian tubules
  4. D the flame cells

Answer: A. the nephridia

Why: The nephridia also help in osmoregulation.

Question 7: Basis of Classification

In the diploblastic animals, the cellular layer present between the ectoderm and the endoderm is:

  1. A the epidermis
  2. B the coelom
  3. C an undifferentiated mesoglea
  4. D the mesoderm

Answer: C. an undifferentiated mesoglea

Why: Cnidarians are diploblastic.

Question 8: Phylum-Level Characteristics

The mollusca body is covered by a calcareous shell and is unsegmented, with:

  1. A a bony skeleton
  2. B a thick epidermis
  3. C a hard skin
  4. D a soft and spongy layer of skin forming the mantle over the visceral hump

Answer: D. a soft and spongy layer of skin forming the mantle over the visceral hump

Why: The mouth contains a file-like rasping organ called the radula.
