Bilaterally symmetrical and acoelomate animals are exemplified by:
1. Platyhelminthes
2. Aschelminthes
3. Annelida
4. Ctenophora
A: | Platyhelminthes are triploblastic, pseudocoelomate and bilaterally symmetrical organisms. |
B: | Ctenophores reproduce only sexually and fertilization is external. |
C: | In tapeworm, fertilization is internal but sexes are not separate. |
D: | Ctenophores are exclusively marine, diploblastic and bioluminescent organisms. |
E: | In sponges, fertilization is external and development is direct. |
1. | (A), (C) and (D) only | 2. | (B), (C) and (D) only |
3. | (A) and (E) only | 4. | (B) and (D) only |
Assertion (A): | The digestive system in Platyhelminthes is called incomplete. |
Reason (R): | Platyhelminthes are mostly endoparasites found in animals including human beings. |
1. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
