Question 40.
Could the number of eggs or young ones produced by an oviparous and viviparous female be equal? Why?
Answer:
No. The number of eggs or young ones produced by an oviparous and viviparous female cannot be equal. When the oviparous animals lay eggs in the external environment or in the medium, the chance of survival and successful development into the adults are not certain. But in the case of viviparous animals, young ones are nurtured by the adult animals. Hence, oviparous animals lay more eggs if they are fertilized in the medium or in water.

IV. Essay Questions
Question 1.
Explain various patterns of organisation in animals.
Answer:
Animals exhibit different patterns of organisation:
The cellular level of organisation:
- Cells are loosely arranged without the formation of tissues.
- There is a division of labour among the cells, e.g., sponges.
Tissue level of organisation:
- Cells which perform a similar function are grouped into tissues.
- The tissues perform a common function, e.g., cnidarians.
Organ level of organisation:
Different kinds of tissues aggregate to form an organ to perform a specific function e.g., flatworms and other hyper phyla.
Organ system level of organisation:
- The tissues are organised to form organs and organ systems.
- All the organ system function in a coordinated manner.
Question 2.
What is coelom? Describe its types?
Answer:
Body cavity lined with mesoderm is meant as a coelom. This lies between the body wall and the alimentary canal.
1.Pseudo coelom:
The body cavity is not lined by the mesodermal epithelium and the mesoderm is formed as scattered pouches between the ectoderm and endoderm. (Eg.) Roundworm
2.Eucoelom:
The coelom is a fluid-filled cavity that develops within the mesoderm and is lined by mesodermal epithelium called the peritoneum.
3.Schizocoelomates:
In these animals, the body cavity is formed by splitting mesoderm. (Eg.) Annelids.
4.Entero coelomate:
The body cavity is formed from the mesodermal pouches of the archenteron. (Eg.) Echinodermata
Question 3.

7. Some show regeneration capacity. | No regeneration capacity. |
8. Larva is present. | No larva |
9. (Eg.) Tape worm, Planeria | (Eg.) Ascaris |
Question 4.
Classify animals based on coelom.
Answer:
The cavity between the body wall and the gut wall is called coelom. If the animals do not have a coelom, they are called acoelomates. e.g., flatworms. In some animals, the body cavity is not fully lined by the mesodermal epithelium. The mesoderm is formed as scattered pouches between the ectoderm and endoderm. Such a body cavity is called a pseudocoel. The animals which have pseudocoel e.g. roundworms.
If the coelom develops within the mesoderm and is lined by mesodermal epithelium it is called eucoelom. The animals which have true coelom are called eucoelomates. If the body cavity is formed by splitting mesoderm, the animals are called schizocoelomates e.g., Annelids, arthropods, and mollusks. If the body cavity is formed from the mesodermal ‘ pouches of archenteron, the animals are called enterocoelomate animals, e.g., echinoderms, hemichordates, and chordates.
