73.          C. Placental Mammal -                                             Humans

74.          I. Modern-day Parasite agnathan-                              Lampreys

75.          E. Invertebrate chordate, no metamorphosis                Lancelets

76.          J. Marsupial-                                                             Opossum

77.          B. Jawless fish now extinct-                                        Ostracoderms

78.          H. Most primitive fishes with jaws-                               Placoderms

79.          L-Egg laying Mammal-                                                Platypus

80.          N. may be sexually mature in Larval form                     Salamanders

81.          A. Cartilagenous skeleton and jaws-                            Sharks

83.          K-Adult is called ‘Sea squirt’-                                       Tunicates

84- Answer –Option D

Explanation:- The Chordata is the animal phylum possessing notochord, a dorsal hollow nerve cord, pharyngeal slits and post anal tail. Vertebrates have one more characteristic that is a vertebral column. Vertebrates are a subphylum of chordates whose notochords are surrounded vertebrae ie; protected with spinal cord. Therefore, all vertebrates are chordates but, not all chordates are vertebrates.

85- Answer –Option B.

Explanation:- The dorsal nerve cord, modified in vertebrates into the central nervous system which is composed of the brain and spinal cord is the only chordate characteristic present in humans.

86- Answer-Option B.

Explanation:- The Phylum Chordata includes the well-known vertebrates (fishes, amphibians, reptiles, birds, mammals). Craniata is a taxon in the phylum chordata. The vertebrates and hagfishes together comprise the taxon Craniata.

87- Answer-Option B.

Explanation:- Jaws evolved from the bony plates that placoderms used to sheer flesh

88- Answer –Option B.

Explanation:- Terrestrial locomotion has evolved as animals adapted from aquatic to terrestrial environments. The terrestrial habitat evolved dramatically due to terrestrial locomotion, which in turn evolved due to pair of appendages.

89- Answer-Option C.

Explanation:- Perch has a skeleton of bone, hence it is a bony fish and not cartilaginous.

90- Answer-Option B.

Explanation:- Vertebrates are a subphylum of chordates whose notochords are surrounded vertebrae ie; protected with spinal cord. Thus notochord is associated with spinal cord.
