Question 40.
Could the number of eggs or young ones produced by an oviparous and viviparous female be equal? Why?
Answer:

  • Each female gamete from a female unites with a male gamete (spermatozoa) of a male through internal or external fertilization and form a zygote that will become an individual.
  • The number of female gametes produced is united with that much number of male gametes and produced that much number of individuals. Hence the egg or young ones produced by the oviparous or viviparous females are equal.

II Give Reasons
Question 1.
Closed type of circulation is advanced.
Answer:
Closed type of circulation is found in higher organisms like prochordates and vertebrates. The invertebrates have open type of circulation except annelids. The closed type of circulation is advanced because blood flows in blood vessels. There is a clear separation of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood.

Question 2.

Answer:
Acoelomates do not have body cavity. Their body is solid and hence the movement of internal organs is restricted. Pseudocoelomates have pseudocoelomic fluid in the pseudocoelom. It acts as a hydrostatic skeleton and allows free movement of visceral organs and circulation of nutrients.

Question 3.
