Select the option that correctly matches characteristic features with the group of three animals.

  • Skeleton ofspicules ­- Sycon, Adamsia, Spongilla

  • Excretion by flame cells - Taenia, Fasciola, Ancylostoma

  • Mouth contains radula - Dentalium, Octopus, Ophiura

  • Jointed appendages ­- Limulus, Apis, Laccifer

Solution

D.

Jointed appendages ­- Limulus, Apis, Laccifer

In poriferans, the body is supported by a skeleton made up of spicules or spongin fibres. Sycon and Spongilla are examples of poriferans, whereas Adamsia is a coelenterate.

In platyhelminths, specialised cells called flame cells help in excretion. Taenia and Fasciola are platyhelminths whereas Ancylostoma is an aschelminth.

In molluscs, mouth contains a file-like rasping organ for feeding called radula. Dentalium and Octopus are molluscs whereas Ophiura is an echinoderm.

Arthropods have jointed appendages. Limulus, Apis and Laccifer all three are arthropods
