Question
Match the following groups of organisms with their respective distinctive characteristics and select the correct option:
Organisms: (a) Platyhelminthes, (b) Echinodermata, (c) Hemichordata, (d) Cnidaria Characteristics: (i) Stomochord, (ii) Cnidoblasts, (iii) Flat body, (iv) Water vascular system
(a)-(iii), (b)-(iv), (c)-(i), (d)-(ii)
(a)-(ii), (b)-(iii), (c)-(iv), (d)-(i)
(a)-(iv), (b)-(i), (c)-(ii), (d)-(iii)
(a)-(i), (b)-(ii), (c)-(iii), (d)-(iv)
members of the phylum Platyhelminthes possess a dorso-ventrally flattened body, which is why they are commonly referred to as flatworms . The phylum Echinodermata is uniquely characterised by a water vascular system that assists in locomotion, respiration, and capturing food . Hemichordata members are identified by a rudimentary structure in the collar region known as a stomochord . Finally, the phylum Cnidaria (Coelenterata) is named after the cnidoblasts or cnidocytes present on their tentacles and body, which are used for anchorage, self-defence, and capturing prey . Matching these characteristics leads to the sequence (iii), (iv), (i), and (ii).
This question aligns with the NEET BIOLOGY syllabus, specifically targeting concepts from Animal Kingdom. Mastering this topic is crucial for scoring well in the upcoming medical entrance examinations. Solving conceptually related problems will help you understand the nuances of these concepts and improve your problem-solving speed.
