Figure 15.3 Which of the following statements is false?
a. Eumetazoa have specialized tissues and Parazoa do not.
b. Both acoelomates and pseudocoelomates have a body cavity.
c. Chordates are more closely related to echinoderms than to rotifers according to the figure.
d. Some animals have radial symmetry, and some animals have bilateral symmetry.
Introduction:
Metazoa is divided into two groups, i.e., Eumetazoa and Parazoa. Animals of Eumetazoa are with specialized tissues and Parazoa are animals with no tissues such as sponges.Chordates are more closely related to Echinodermsthan to Rotifers, becauseChordates and Echinoderms are formed from Deuterostomia. Diploblastic animals show radial symmetry and animals which are triploblastic show bilateral symmetry.Acoelomates do not have a body cavity, whereas, pseudocoelomates have a body cavity.
Answer to Problem 1ACQ
The correct answer is option (b).
Explanation of Solution
Explanation for the correct answer:
Option (b) both acoelomates and pseudocoelomates have a body cavity. The acoelomates do not have a body cavity. Hence, it is a false statement.
Explanation for the incorrect answer:
Option (a) eumetazoa have specialized tissues and the parazoa do not. The parazoa lack the tissues, they only have cellular level of organization. Hence, it is a true statement.
Option (c) Chordates are more closely related to echinoderms than to rotrifers. The echinoderms and the chordates belong to the deuterostomia and the rotrifers belong to the protostomia. Hence, chordates are more closely related to echinoderms than to rotrifers is a true statement.
Option (a) some animals have radial symmetry and have bilateral symmetry.Different animals have different symmetry. Hence, it is a true statement.
Acoelomates do not have a body cavity, whereas, pseudocoelomates have a body cavity. Thus, the statement (b) is false.

We will use a different type of graph to derive additional information from the CO2 data (Fig A1.6.2) 1. Calculate the average rate of increase in COz concentration per year for the time intervals 1959-1969, 1969- 1979, etc. and write the results in the spaces provided. The value for 1959-1969 is provided for you as an example. 2. Plot the results as a bar graph. The 1959-1969 is plotted for you. 3.

- San Andreas Transform Boundary Plate Motion The geologic map below of southern California shows the position of the famous San Andreas Fault, a transform plate boundary between the North American Plate (east side) and the Pacific Plate (west side). The relative motion between the plates is indicated by the half arrows along the transform plate boundary (i.e., the Pacific Plate is moving to the northwest relative to the North American Plate). Note the two bodies of Oligocene volcanic rocks (labeled Ov) on the map in the previous page located along either side of the San Andreas Fault. These rocks are about 23.5 million years old and were once one body of rock. They have been separated by displacement along the fault. 21. Based on the offset of these volcanic rocks, what is the average annual rate of relative plate motion in cm/yr?
