Q127 (IAS/2002) Science & Technology › Basic Science (Physics, Chemistry, Biology) › Animal diversity behaviour Answer Verified

Which one of the following statements is not correct ?

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: A
Explanation

Option 1 is incorrect. Echinoderms are mostly dioecious and typically undergo external fertilization, with eggs hatching into planktonic, free‑swimming larvae rather than developing viviparously; thus they are not all viviparous [1]. Roundworms (nematodes) lack a true circulatory system, so statement 2 is correct. Most bony fishes (Osteichthyes) characteristically possess a swim bladder used for buoyancy regulation, so statement 3 is correct [2]. Cartilaginous fishes (sharks, rays) commonly exhibit internal fertilization, making statement 4 correct. Therefore the only statement that is not correct is (1).
