About This Quiz

If variations are beneficial and help an animal survive better in their habitat, the individuals with these variations will survive longer and have more offspring, ensuring the variation is passed on again. This is called the evolution of a species. Sometimes, after many generations, the variations that have been passed on mean that the new individuals are very different to the original organisms - a new species has evolved.

    Which group do Seals belong to?

    • Amphibians

    • Fish

    • Mammals

    • Reptiles

    Correct Answer
    A. Mammals
    Explanation
    Seals belong to the group of mammals. This is because they have mammary glands and nurse their young with milk. They also have fur or hair on their bodies, which is a characteristic of mammals. Seals give live birth to their offspring, another trait of mammals. Unlike fish, amphibians, and reptiles, seals do not lay eggs. Therefore, the correct answer is mammals.

    Which of the following groups is warm blooded?

    • Amphibians

    • Birds

    • Insects

    • Reptiles

    Correct Answer
    A. Birds
    Explanation
    Birds are warm-blooded because they can regulate their body temperature internally, regardless of the external environment. This ability allows them to maintain a constant body temperature, which is essential for their metabolism and overall physiological functions. Unlike reptiles, which are cold-blooded and rely on external heat sources to regulate their body temperature, birds have a high metabolic rate and produce heat through various physiological processes, such as shivering or increasing their metabolic activity. This adaptation enables birds to thrive in a wide range of environments and climates.

    Which is the odd one out?

    • Frog

    • Lizard

    • Newt

    • Toad

    Correct Answer
    A. Lizard
    Explanation
    The odd one out in this group is "Lizard" because it is the only reptile, while the others (Frog, Newt, and Toad) are amphibians. Reptiles and amphibians are two different classes of animals, with distinct characteristics and adaptations. Therefore, "Lizard" does not belong to the same category as the other options.

    Which of the following animals have a backbone?

    • Bee

    • Lobster

    • Spider

    • Trout

    Correct Answer
    A. Trout
    Explanation
    Trout is the correct answer because it is a fish, and all fish have backbones. Bees, lobsters, and spiders are invertebrates, meaning they do not have a backbone.

    Which of the following groups breathe through moist skin and lungs, and need water to breed?

    • Amphibians

    • Crustaceans

    • Fish

    • Reptiles

    Correct Answer
    A. Amphibians
    Explanation
    Amphibians are the correct answer because they are known for their ability to breathe through both their moist skin and lungs. Unlike reptiles, which mainly rely on lungs for respiration, amphibians have permeable skin that allows them to absorb oxygen directly from the environment. This is why they require a moist environment to prevent dehydration. Additionally, amphibians also need water to breed, as they lay their eggs in water and their larvae undergo development in aquatic habitats. This distinguishes them from crustaceans and fish, which have different respiratory systems and reproductive strategies.

    Which of the following has an unsegmented body?

    • Ant

    • Snail

    • Wasp

    • Earthworm

    Correct Answer
    A. Snail
    Explanation
    Snails have an unsegmented body. Unlike ants, wasps, and earthworms, snails do not have distinct body segments. They have a soft, fleshy body that is not divided into sections. This lack of segmentation is a characteristic feature of snails, making them the correct answer in this case.

    Which one of the following shows continuous variation?

    • Blood group

    • Height

    • Gender

    • Tongue rolling

    Correct Answer
    A. Height
    Explanation
    Height shows continuous variation because it can take on a wide range of values that can be measured and compared. Unlike blood group, which is discrete and can only take on a limited number of options, height exists on a spectrum and can vary continuously from very short to very tall. Similarly, gender and tongue rolling are also discrete traits that can only have a limited number of options, whereas height can have an infinite number of possible values.

    Which of the following has two body parts, four pairs of jointed legs and no wings?

    • Beetle

    • Crab

    • Spider

    • Woodlouse

    Correct Answer
    A. Spider
    Explanation
    Spiders have two body parts, namely the cephalothorax and the abdomen. They also have four pairs of jointed legs, which gives them a total of eight legs. Unlike beetles and woodlice, spiders do not have wings. Therefore, the correct answer is spider.

    Which of the following is not an arthropod?

    • Arachnid

    • Crustacean

    • Insect

    • Mollusc

    Correct Answer
    A. Mollusc
    Explanation
    A mollusc is not an arthropod because it belongs to a different phylum. Arthropods are characterized by having jointed legs and a segmented body, while molluscs have soft bodies and usually have a hard external shell. Molluscs belong to the phylum Mollusca, which includes animals like snails, clams, and squids. Arachnids, crustaceans, and insects are all arthropods, as they have jointed appendages and a segmented body.
