Explanation

Class Copepoda, within Sub Class Thoracoracopod of Subphylum Crustacea in Clade Mandibulates, is characterized by the well-developed uniramous first antennae that serve various functions such as swimming, sensory perception, and mating. The other options provided do not accurately represent the defining features of Class Copepoda.

Submit
15. What is a specific example of Clade Mandibulates in the Subphylum Crustacea under Sub Class Maxillopods and Class Cirripedia?

Explanation

The correct example of Clade Mandibulates in the given taxonomic hierarchy is goose-neck barnacles. They fall under the Subphylum Crustacea, Sub Class Maxillopods, and Class Cirripedia.

Submit
16. What is the significance of the Class Malacostracea within the subphylum Crustacea in the clade Mandibulates?

Explanation

The Class Malacostracea in the subphylum Crustacea within the clade Mandibulates holds significance due to their larger size, further utilization of legs for various functions, and being the largest of all arthropods.

Submit
17. Which group of animals belong to Clade Mandibulates, Subphylum Crustacea, Sub Class Thoracoracopod, Class Malacostraca, Suborder Pericarida?

Explanation

The given characteristics like absence of antennae and uniramous antennules, lack of carapace and presence of simple eyes, dorso-ventrally flattened body, and little differentiation between abdomen and thorax describe crustaceans particularly isopods.
