Video transcript
A land snail, a clam, and an octopus all share a. a mantle. b. a radula. c. gills. d. distinct cephalization.
Which phylum is characterized by animals that have a segmented body? a. Cnidaria b. Platyhelminthes c. Arthropoda d. Mollusca
The water vascular system of echinoderms a. functions as a circulatory system that distributes nutrients to body cells b. functions in locomotion and feeding. c. is bilateral in organization, even though the adult animal is not bilaterally symmetrical. d. moves water through the animal's body during filter feeding.
In Figure 33.2, which two main clades branch from the most recent common ancestor of the eumetazoans? a. Porifera and Cnidaria b. Lophotrochozoa and Ecdysozoa c. Cnidaria and Bilateria d. Deuterostomia and Bilateria
MAKE CONNECTIONS In Figure 33.8, assume that the two medusae shown at step 4 were produced by one polyp colony. Review Concept 12.1 and Concept 13.3, and then use your understanding of mitosis and meiosis to evaluate whether the following sentence is true or false; if false, select the answer that provides the correct reason. Although the two medusae are genetically identical, a sperm produced by one will differ genetically from an egg produced by the other. a. False (both the medusae and the gametes are genetically identical) b. False (neither the medusae nor the gametes are genetically identical) c. False (the medusae are not identical but the gametes are) d. True
