VII. Long answer questions.
Question $1 .$
Describe the characteristic features of different Prochordates.
Answer:
Prochordates are the forerunners of Vertebrates. They do not have a cranium or skull. So they are called Acrania. The classification is based on the nature of the notochord. The following are the three subphyla of prochordata.
(a) Hemichordates:

Eg- Balanoglossus.
The organism lack notochord and are without backbones. They are tuberculous forms. The body is soft, vermiform, unsegmented, bilaterally symmetrical and triploblastic. The notochord is persistent as the stomochord in the anterior region.

(b) Cephalochordates:

Eg-Amphioxus
The notochord extends forward beyond the brain. Small fish like marine chordates with $i$ unpaired dorsal fins.

(c) Urochordates:

Eg- Ascidians
The notochord is confined to the tail region of the larva. In adults, they degenerate and are in sessile forms. The body is enveloped by a tunic or test.
 

Question $2 .$

1. Arthropoda is the largest phylum.
2. The organisms have jointed legs.
3. The body is segmented into head, thorax and abdomen.
4. The exoskeleton is made up of chitin.
5. The coelomic cavity is filled with haemolymph (blood).
6. They do not have defined blood vessels. This is called open circulatory system.
7. The insects shed the exoskeleton and this process is called moulting.
8. Small Arthropods absorb oxygen through the body and larger aquatic species breathe through book gills.
9. Land Arthropods breathe through a system of tiny body tubes called tracheae.
10. Excretion occurs through malphigian tubules and through green glands in crabs and prawns. .
11. Insects, spiders, crabs, shrimps, butterflies, millipedes, centipedes, and scorpions are some arthropods.
