Answer: A). Flatworms
The illustration shows planaria which is a free living organism. It has flat shape and simple structure. This animal belongs to group of Flatworms. The flatworms do not have well developed respiratory and circulatory systems, these are simple organisms which derive the oxygen and nutrients by diffusion.
This is because there might not be one restriction site bordering the gene to be cloned and the identical restriction site in the plasmid. Since these two restriction enzymes make compatible sticky ends, the insert has a chance of combining with the plasmid. To ensure efficient digestion, the two recognition sites should be more than 10 base pairs apart. If one of the enzymes is a poor cutter or if the sites are separated 10 base pairs or less, the digestions <span>should be performed sequentially</span>
Answer:
- A Tongue-shaped structure called radula for grasping food --> Mollusca
- Fleshy lobe-like structure called parapodia --> Annelida
- Spongin fibers or spicules for support ---> Porifera
Explanation:
Radula: This is an organ used in feeding by mollusks. It constitutes a highly developed feeding organ. The radula has is conformed of small teeth-like structures located in rows. Lateral teeth vary in shape and size. The movements of the radula during feeding are complexes acting as a scratcher on the surface to get the food.
Parapodia: These are characteristic lateral appendixes that emerge and extend from each of the body segments of invertebrates such as polychaetes. The typical parapodium is a fleshy prolongation more or less laterally comprised and is composed of a superior branch (notopodium) and an inferior branch (parapodium).
Spicules: Sponges (Poriferous) skeleton is composed of calcium carbonate and siliceous micro-structures called spicules. Their morphology is so varied that it is used in taxonomy for identification and classification.
There are different kinds of spicules:
- Monoaxonic spicule: needle-shaped, straights or curves
- Tetraxonic spicules: they have four prolongations
- Triaxonic or Hexaxonic spicules
- Poliaxonic spicules
Two terms can be applied to any of these spicules kinds:
- Megaspicules: They are elongated and compose the main architecture of the sponge skeleton
- Microspicules: Variable in shape and size, with ancillary functions
Sponges have few predators because of the spicule structures and their high toxicity. Many of them are capable of perforating soft tissues and producing urticant substances.
