EasyMCQ
When the body of an animal can be divided into two identical left and right halves through a single plane along the central axis,it is called ....... symmetry.
A
Bilateral symmetry
B
Radial symmetry
C
Asymmetry
D
None of these

Solution

(A) $1$. Bilateral symmetry is a type of body symmetry where the animal's body can be divided into two identical left and right halves only through a single plane passing through the central axis.
$2$. Radial symmetry refers to a body plan where any plane passing through the central axis divides the body into identical halves.
$3$. Asymmetry refers to a body plan where the body cannot be divided into two identical halves by any plane passing through the center.
$4$. Therefore,the correct answer is $A$ (Bilateral symmetry).

The figures below represent diploblastic and triploblastic organization. Identify the correct labels for $P$ and $Q$.
$\quad\quad P \quad \quad Q$
Question diagram
A
Cellular mesoderm $\quad\quad$ Undifferentiated mesoglea
B
Undifferentiated mesoglea $\quad\quad$ Cellular mesoderm
C
Cellular mesoglea $\quad\quad$ Undifferentiated mesoderm
D
Undifferentiated mesoderm $\quad\quad$ Cellular mesoglea

Solution

(B) In diploblastic animals,the body consists of two germinal layers: an external ectoderm and an internal endoderm. Between these two layers,an undifferentiated layer called mesoglea is present,which is non-cellular $(P)$.
In triploblastic animals,a third germinal layer called the mesoderm is present between the ectoderm and endoderm. This layer is cellular $(Q)$.
153
MediumMCQ
The lining of the coelom is derived from which germ layer?
A
Endoderm
B
Mesoderm
C
Ectoderm
D
All of the above

Solution

(B) The coelom is a body cavity that is completely lined by the mesoderm.
In triploblastic animals,the mesoderm splits to form the coelomic cavity,which is lined by a layer of cells called the peritoneum,which is mesodermal in origin.
Therefore,the correct answer is $B$ (Mesoderm).

MediumMCQ
The chart for animal classification is given below. Identify the correct names for $P, Q, R$ and $S$.
$P\quad Q\quad R\quad S$
Question diagram
A
Cellular level $\quad$ Radial $\quad$ Bilateral $\quad$ Phylum
B
Cellular level $\quad$ Radial $\quad$ Bilateral $\quad$ Class
C
Cellular level $\quad$ Bilateral $\quad$ Radial $\quad$ Phylum
D
Cellular level $\quad$ Bilateral $\quad$ Radial $\quad$ Class

Solution

(A) $1$. In the animal classification chart,the first level of organization is the 'Cellular level' $(P)$,which corresponds to the phylum Porifera.
$2$. The next level of organization is 'Tissue/Organ/Organ system level'.
$3$. Under this,animals are classified based on symmetry. The group containing Coelenterata (Cnidaria) and Ctenophora exhibits 'Radial' symmetry $(Q)$.
$4$. The remaining groups exhibit 'Bilateral' symmetry $(R)$.
$5$. The final column on the right represents the taxonomic category 'Phylum' $(S)$ under which various animal groups are listed.
155
EasyMCQ
The following diagram represents which type of symmetry?
Question diagram
A
Asymmetry
B
Radial symmetry
C
Bilateral symmetry
D
Biradial symmetry

Solution

(B) The diagram shows an organism where any plane passing through the central axis divides the body into two identical halves.
This type of body organization is known as radial symmetry.
Radial symmetry is commonly observed in phyla such as Coelenterata (Cnidaria),Ctenophora,and Echinodermata (in adults).
156
MediumMCQ
In the given figure,identify the label marked $(a):-$
Question diagram
A
Mesogloea
B
Mesoderm
C
Endoderm
D
Ectoderm

Solution

(B) The provided figure represents a cross-section of a triploblastic animal body plan.
In triploblastic animals,there are three germinal layers:-
$1$. The outermost layer is the Ectoderm.
$2$. The middle layer is the Mesoderm,which is marked as $(a)$ in the figure.
$3$. The innermost layer is the Endoderm.
Therefore,the label $(a)$ represents the Mesoderm.
157
EasyMCQ
The following are two categories of symmetry and germ layers. Choose the appropriate answer that corresponds to the given figures:
Question diagram
A
Category $A$,Symmetry $\rightarrow$ Radial,Germ layer $\rightarrow$ Diploblastic,Phylum $\rightarrow$ Platyhelminthes
B
Category $B$,Symmetry $\rightarrow$ Bilateral,Germ layer $\rightarrow$ Triploblastic,Phylum $\rightarrow$ Platyhelminthes
C
Category $C$,Symmetry $\rightarrow$ Bilateral,Germ layer $\rightarrow$ Diploblastic,Phylum $\rightarrow$ Coelenterata
D
Category $B$,Symmetry $\rightarrow$ Radial,Germ layer $\rightarrow$ Triploblastic,Phylum $\rightarrow$ Annelida

Solution

(B) Figure $A$ shows radial symmetry and a diploblastic body organization (two germ layers: ectoderm and endoderm),which is characteristic of Phylum Coelenterata (Cnidaria).
Figure $B$ shows bilateral symmetry and a triploblastic body organization (three germ layers: ectoderm,mesoderm,and endoderm),which is characteristic of Phylum Platyhelminthes and higher phyla.
Therefore,Category $B$ represents bilateral symmetry,triploblastic organization,and belongs to Phylum Platyhelminthes.

EasyMCQ
Mark the correct answer regarding the given diagram:
Question diagram
A
$(a) \rightarrow$ Diploblastic,$(b) \rightarrow$ Triploblastic
B
$(a) \rightarrow$ Ctenophora,$(b) \rightarrow$ Annelida
C
$(a) \rightarrow$ Coelenterata,$(b) \rightarrow$ Mollusca
D
$(a) \rightarrow$ Arthropoda,$(b) \rightarrow$ Hemichordata

Solution

(A) The given diagram illustrates the two types of germ layers in animals:
$(a)$ represents a diploblastic animal,where the body is composed of two germ layers: an external ectoderm and an internal endoderm,with an undifferentiated mesoglea in between.
$(b)$ represents a triploblastic animal,where the developing embryo has a third germ layer,the mesoderm,in between the ectoderm and endoderm.
Diploblastic animals include phyla like Coelenterata (Cnidaria) and Ctenophora.
Triploblastic animals include phyla from Platyhelminthes to Chordata,such as Annelida,Mollusca,Arthropoda,etc.
Therefore,option $(a)$ represents diploblastic organization and $(b)$ represents triploblastic organization.

EasyMCQ
When any plane passing through the central axis of the body divides the organism into two identical halves,the organism is called $-$
A
Radially symmetrical
B
Bilaterally symmetrical
C
Asymmetrical
D
Metamerically segmented

Solution

(A) Symmetry in animals is classified based on the arrangement of body parts relative to the central axis.
$1$. Radial symmetry: When any plane passing through the central longitudinal axis of the body divides the organism into two identical halves,it is called radial symmetry.
$2$. Bilateral symmetry: When the body can be divided into identical left and right halves in only one plane,it is called bilateral symmetry.
$3$. Asymmetry: When any plane that passes through the centre of the body does not divide them into identical halves,it is called asymmetry.
Therefore,the correct definition provided in the question refers to radial symmetry.

EasyMCQ
The kind of coelom represented in the diagram given below is characteristic of
Question diagram
A
round worm
B
earthworm
C
tape worm
D
cockroach

Solution

(A) The correct answer is $A$ (round worm).
The diagram illustrates a pseudocoelom,which is a body cavity that is not completely lined by mesoderm. Instead,the mesoderm is present as scattered pouches between the ectoderm and endoderm.
$1$. Round worms (Phylum Aschelminthes) are characterized by the presence of a pseudocoelom.
$2$. Earthworms (Phylum Annelida) and cockroaches (Phylum Arthropoda) are eucoelomate (true coelomates).
$3$. Tapeworms (Phylum Platyhelminthes) are acoelomate (lack a body cavity).
