Question | Answer |
---|---|
Which of these is not considered an amniote? | amphibians |
The abundance of which element in the rocks from the K-T boundary strongly indicated that something of extraterrestrial origin had dramatically affect Earth at that time? | iridium |
Members of this phylum have radial symmetry and nematocysts; they may have both polyp and medusa forms as adults, and many are bioluminescent. | Cnideria (stinging-celled animals) |
To which of the following groups do members of Priapulida (penis worms) NOT belong? | panarthropoda |
Organisms that are neither coelomate nor pseudocoelomate should, apart from their digestive systems, have bodies that | are solid with tissue. |
You find a small animal with eight legs crawling up your bedroom wall. Closer examination will probably reveal that this animal has | no antennae and chelicerae |
Members of this class of arthropods have one pair of antennae and a body divided into three segments (head, thorax, and abdomen). Their head has one pair of antennae, and their legs are attached only to the thorax, as are their wings (when present). | Insecta |
This class includes the chambered nautilus and cuttlefish, among other organisms. They have a muscular foot modified into tentacles. Many use chromatophore pigment pouches to change color for camouflage, hunting, or messaging. | Cephalopoda |
Living members of this order of mammals are only found in nature in Australia, New Guinea, and surrounding islands. The females have mammary glands without well-developed nipples. These are the only living mammals that lay eggs | Monotremata |
bilateral acoelomate worms are parasites. They have a head with a scolex with hooks and suckers for attaching to intestinal wall of hosts. They have no digestive tract, Most of their body is a series of hermaphroditic units called proglottids. | Cestoda (tapeworms) |
According to modern animal phylogeny based on molecular data, which of the following is a monophyletic group? | Lophotrochozoa |
The orders Acari, Araneae, and Opiliones are all members of which class? | Arachnida |
Which class of the phylum Cnidaria includes "jellies" with boxlike medusae? | Cubozoa |
This order of mammals includes manatees and dugongs. | Sirenia |
Members of the lineage ________ are called tunicates or sea squirts. They have tadpolelike larvae, but their sessile adult form is usually encased in a leathery “tunic”. | Urochordata |
The orders Chelonia, Squamata, and Rhynchocephalia are all members of which class? | Reptilia |
Members of this phylum are characterized by an endoskeleton of calcium-rich plates, a water vascular system, and pentaradial symmetry in adults. | Echinodermata |
This phylum is made up entirely of acoelomate animals, and members of this phylum have an excretory system consisting of small tubules lined with ciliated flame cells. | Platyhelminthes (flatworms) |
The organisms most closely related to, but not a part of, Kingdom Animalia (Metazoa) are | choanoflagellates. |
this phylum are all parasitic, including some species that develop within a cricket host. When the cricket parasite matures it will take over the cricket’s brain and cause the cricket to commit suicide by jumping into water | Nematomorpha |
Members of this phylum are found mostly in freshwater. They have a ciliated food-gathering organ at the tip of their head called a corona. The beating of the cilia gives the appearance of a turning wheel. | Rotifera (rotifers) |
Graptolites, which are important index fossils from the mid Cambrian to the lower Carboniferous, are remains of organisms that would be classified in which of these phyla? | Hemichordata |
Members of this phylum of coelomate protostomes include marine forms with parapodia and trochophore larvae, some terrestrial forms with a clitellum, and some forms that are dorsoventrally flattened ectoparasites. | Annelida (segmented worms) |
The members of this class of echinoderms have tube feet in grooves along each of their arms. They feed mainly on bivalves, forcing a small opening where the shells come together, then extruding their stomach into the opening, | Asteroidea (sea stars) |
An adult animal that possesses clear bilateral symmetry is most certainly also | triploblastic. |
Filter feeding, osculum, spicules, and choanocytes are all terms associated with which phylum? | Porifera (sponges) |
The coelacanth that Marjorie Courtenay-Latimer found and preserved was a member of which of these taxonomic groups? | Sarcopterygii |
One of the most successful animal groups in terms of number of species, this animal phylum is made up of organisms with a coelomate body organized as the mantle, muscular foot, and visceral mass. | Mollusca |
Members of this extremely successful phylum are characterized by a segmented body plan, jointed appendages, and a chitinous exoskeleton. The exoskeleton is replaced periodically by molting. Over half of all named living species are in this phylum. | Arthropoda |
The possession of two pairs of antennae is a characteristic of | crustaceans. |
Andrews and his team were asked to make intensive searches for mammal fossils. Which of the following is one of the best ways to tell a mammalian fossil from a reptilian fossil? Whether or not... | teeth are differentiated |
Which of these statements accurately describes a similarity between sharks and ray-finned fishes? | They have a lateral line that is sensitive to changes in water pressure. |
Humans most frequently acquire trichinosis by | eating undercooked pork. |
The orders Isoptera, Diptera, and Coeloptera are all members of which class? | Insecta |
According to modern phylogeny, which of the following groups is most closely related to members of Phylum Arthropoda? | Onychophora |
The Devonian Period is also called the ____________ due to the dominance and diversity of that group in that time. | Age of Fishes |
According to modern phylogeny, members of subphylum Hexapoda are most closely related to which of the following groups? | Crustacea |
Why is the amniotic egg considered an important evolutionary breakthrough? | It allows incubation of eggs in a terrestrial environment. |
Which is the correct order of terms for embryonic development in most animals? | zygote --> morula --> blastula --> gastrula |
Based on the fossil record and DNA sequencing, which fish group is most closely related to the tetrapods such as birds? | Sarcopterygii |
This class includes marine, freshwater, and terrestrial members. Most have a single, coiled shell, but some have no shell. During development a twisting or “torsion” of their visceral mass leads to placement of their anus practically over their heads. | Gastropoda |
Members of the order Hymnoptera (ants, wasps, and bees) have postembryonic development called holometabolous or complete metamorphosis, where they have | several instars of often worm-like larvae, then a stage where they are a sessile pupa, before ending in an adult stage that is very different from the larval instars. |
The process of molting in insects is controlled by: | ecdysone |
Members of this phylum of ecdysozoan animals are extremely common in soil. Many are important plant parasites, using their stylets to pierce the plant. Some infect animals, such as heartworms in dogs. | Nematoda |
The taxon that includes all sponges can either be called Subkingdom Parazoa or Phylum Porifera. In either case, based on genetic relationships this taxonomic group is | paraphyletic. |
Radial symmetry, bioluminescence, and fused plates of cilia used as the primary means of locomotion are characteristics associated with members of which phylum? | Ctenophora (comb jellies or sea walnuts) |
