Answer:

At the base of Actinopterygii

*This is a unique characteristic of this group.

Explanation:

A peculiar characteristic organ observed in ray-finned fish (as well as in Sarcopterygii, or lobe-finned fish) but not in cartilaginous fish like shark is the swim bladder.

This organ is often described to be a sac containing gas. It helps these set of fish adjust its buoyancy and its position in the water by regulating the concentration of gas present in it.

The swim bladder is formed as a pouch coming off the embryonic digestive tract, and in chondrosteans and holosteans, with a set of teleosts e.g. the eels, it maintains an open pathway to the esophagus. In majority of the bony fish, the swim bladder is totally sealed off, as gas levels in their swim bladder are regulated by producing gas into the bladder via a network of capillaries, the rete mirabile (Latin word for "marvelous net").

The swim bladder is homologous to the lungs of tetrapods. Since they are formed in the same vein. Few fishes that have an open swim bladder employs it as a breathing organ.

Hermaphrodite, cellular respiration, invertebrate, medusae, metamorphosis, bilateral symmetry, coelomate, acoelomate1. an animal
givi [52]

Answer:

1. an animal without a body cavity acoelomate

2. condition in which the left side of an organism's body is a mirror image of the right side bilateral symmetry

3. a series of chemical reactions that break down sugars and produce energy cellular respiration

4. an animal with a fluid-filled body cavity that lies within the mesoderm coelomate

5. an animal that has both male and female reproductive organs Hermaphrodite

6. an animal without a backbone invertebrate

7. free-floating aquatic animals with a structure similar to a jellyfish medusae

8. the transformation of a larva to an adult; occurs only in animals having great differences in form between the larva and adult metamorphosis

Explanation:

Body cavity is a fluid-filled space inside a multicellular organism  with the protective role. The coelom is the main body cavity, found in allmost all animals. Those that don't have coelom are called acoelomata. An example are Platyhelminthes.

Symmetry refers to the proportion of an animal: its reflection, rotation or scaling. The body symmetry of animals might be radial, bilateral, spherical or asymmetric.

Two major group of animals are Vertebrate and Invertebrate, with or without with backbone.

Hermaphrodite organisms are those that contain both, male and female reproductive organs, characteristic for invertebrates.
