    Which form of reproduction is involved in budding and regeneration?

    • Asexual reproduction

    • Sexual reproduction

    Correct Answer
    A. Asexual reproduction
    Explanation
    Budding and regeneration are both forms of asexual reproduction. In budding, a new organism grows out of the parent organism, forming a small bud that eventually detaches and becomes an independent organism. Regeneration refers to the ability of an organism to regrow lost or damaged body parts. Both processes involve the creation of new individuals without the involvement of gametes or the fusion of genetic material from two parents, which is characteristic of sexual reproduction. Therefore, the correct answer is asexual reproduction.

    Which of the following don't have heart?

    • Primates

    • Aves

    • Ribbon worms

    Correct Answer
    A. Ribbon worms
    Explanation
    Ribbon worms don't have a heart. Unlike primates and aves (birds), ribbon worms belong to a group of invertebrates known as Nemertea, and they lack a true circulatory system with a specialized organ like a heart. Instead, they rely on a simple network of vessels to transport nutrients and oxygen throughout their body. This adaptation allows ribbon worms to survive without a heart, making them distinct from primates and aves.

    What kind of circulatory system do segmented worms have?

    • Open circulatory system

    • Closed circulatory system

    Correct Answer
    A. Closed circulatory system
    Explanation
    Segmented worms, also known as annelids, have a closed circulatory system. In this type of circulatory system, blood is contained within a network of blood vessels and is pumped by a heart. The blood flows in a continuous loop, delivering oxygen and nutrients to the body tissues and removing waste products. This closed system allows for more efficient circulation and better control over blood flow, making it suitable for organisms with higher metabolic demands. An open circulatory system, on the other hand, lacks blood vessels and the blood directly bathes the body tissues.
