Zoology
1. d) There are two sub-phyla in phylum-Arthropoda – Chelicerata and Mandibulata.
Chelicerata includes two classes called Merostomata and Arachnida and Mandibulata
includes three classes known as Myriapoda, Crustacea, and Insecta. The body of
Merostomata and Arachnida is divided into two regions called prosoma
(=cephalothorax) and opisthosoma (=abdomen) whereas the body of Myriapoda into
two divisions known as head and trunk, the body of Crustacea into two divisions called
cephalothorax and abdomen, and the body of Insecta into three divisions known as
head, thorax, and abdomen. So, the correct answer is d.
2. b) Prawn (Palaeomon), a crustacean under Arthropoda is bilateral; apple snail
(Pilaglobosa), a gastropod under Mollusca is asymmetrical due to torsion in bilateral
larva; sea cucumber (Holothuria), a holothurian under Echinodermata is radial due to
modification in bilateral larva; and acorn tongue (Balanoglossus), an
enteropneustaunder Hemichordata is bilateral. Therefore, the correct answer is b.
3. d) Calcareous spicules found in sponges are secreted calcoblast (found in
mesohyal/mesogloea/mesenchyme) called calcoblasts, a type of scleroblasts and those
found in solenogasters (class-Aplacophora of phylum-Mollusca) and urochordates, e.g.,
sea squirt/sea potato (Herdmania) are secreted by epidermis. So, the correct answer is
d.
4. a) Connective tissue has cells and matrix (ground substance + fibres). There are five types
of cells in proper connective tissue out of which mast cells secrete heparin, histamine,
and serotonin. The mast cells are completely lacking in supportive and fluid connective
tissue. That is why, the correct answer is a.
5. a) Areolar, adipose, pigmented, and white fibrous tissue are proper connective tissue. The
areolar tissue connects or packs in between skin and muscles, hence, it is also called
packing tissue. The adipose tissue has fat stored as emergency food or for protection.

bones, constitutes white part of eye, etc. That is why, the correct answer is a.

(Neoceratodus): homocercal, diphycercal, and hypocercal tail, etc. are found in
Teleostomi, e.g., indigenous major carp (Labeowith diphyceracal tail). That is why, the
correct answer is d.
