Annelids __________.

Phylum Annelida

 each individual fertilizes its own eggs with its own sperm (in self-fertilization) 

 No. Earthworms do not fertilize their own eggs. 

 fertilization takes place during copulation between males and females 

 hermaphroditic individuals exchange eggs 

 reproduction is by parthenogenesis, with no male participation 

 No. Earthworms are hermaphrodites that cross-fertilize. 

 hermaphroditic individuals exchange sperm 

Earthworms are hermaphrodites.

During typical earthworm reproduction, __________.

 No. Nematodes are not lophotrochozoans. 

 No. Sea urchins are not lophotrochozoans. 

 No. Although tapeworms are lophotrochozoans, they do not have a lophophore. 

 No. Although cephalopods are lophotrochozoans, they do not have a lophophore.

2 3 Lophotrochozoans   Rotifera and Ectoprocta

 their larval stage of development looks completely different from the adult stage 

 No. This describes complete metamorphosis, which occurs in many insect species. 

 they shed their exoskeleton as they grow 

 No. This refers to molting, which occurs several times during the lives of most arthropods. 

 each individual functions as both male and female in sexual reproduction by producing sperm and eggs 

 No. This is true of hermaphrodites and does not describe parthenogenesis. 

 during development of adult forms, some of the organs that were bilateral are reduced in size or are lost on one side of the body 

 No. This is called torsion, and it is a characteristic of gastropods. 

 the species consist only of females that produce more females from unfertilized eggs 

Humans never use parthenogenesis.

Some species of rotifers undergo parthenogenesis, which means that __________.

All About Mollusks

 No. Proglottids are sacs of sex organs. 

 No. Tapeworms do not have a digestive system. 

 No. Tapeworms do not have a circulatory system. 

 No. The scolex plays a role in attachment. 

This is how we get more tapeworms!

The proglottids of a tapeworm contain an elaborate __________ system.

 No. Leeches have a more complex structure than cnidarians, including an anus and coelom. 

 No. Leeches are not flatworms. Moreover, flatworms are in the clade Lophotrochozoa. 

 No. Leeches are not arthropods. In addition, arthropods are in the clade Ecdysozoa. 

Leeches are in the same phylum as earthworms.

Leeches are members of the phylum __________ in the clade of bilaterally symmetric animals called __________.

 that have a mantle that produces an external shell 

 No. The cephalopod mantle covers the visceral mass, but the chambered nautilus is the only living cephalopod with an external shell. 

 No. Molluscs typically reproduce sexually. 

 No. Although chitons have segmented dorsal plates, molluscs do not have a clearly segmented body. 

 No. In cephalopods the sexes are separate. 

Humans have this same characteristic.

Cephalopods are the only molluscs __________.

Brachiopoda is a phylum within the Lophotrochozoa. Even though they are not closely related to bivalve mollusks (such as clams or mussels), brachiopods look and act like bivalve mollusks. Specifically, brachiopods suspension feed, secrete calcium carbonate shells with two valves that hinge together in some species, and attach to rocks or other hard surfaces on the ocean floor. How is it possible for brachiopods and bivalves to be so similar if they did not share a recent common ancestor?

 No. Only some platyhelminths (found in the clade called Rhabditophora) are parasitic. 

 No. Catenulids are freshwater free-living flatworms. 

 No. Not all rhabditophorans are parasites, although more than half of the species are parasitic. 

 No. Only one of the choices is completely parasitic. 

Humans can be infected by a variety of parasitic flatworms.

Which of the following groups of worms is/are completely parasitic?

Mollusca | Gastropods-Bivalves-Cephlapods |

 No. The bass is a chordate, not a mollusc. 

 No. Tapeworms are platyhelminths, not annelids. 

 No. Corals are cnidarians, not echinoderms. 

 No. Neither of these is an annelid; the snail is a mollusc, and the coral is a cnidarian. 

Both of these animals have a muscular foot.

Consider the following list of animals: giant squid, earthworm, largemouth bass, snail, tapeworm, coral, and starfish. The two that belong to the same phylum are the __________, and their phylum is __________.

Tapeworms are very flat worms.

Tapeworms are highly specialized worms that make their living as endoparasites. To which of the following phyla do the tapeworms belong?

 No. Chelicerates are arthropods that do not have tentacles modified from a foot. 

 No. This is the correct phylum but the wrong clade. 

The organism is similar to known molluscs.

An active marine predator is found possessing these characteristics: a series of tentacles (modified from the foot), a highly developed nervous system, and elaborate eyes. To which of the following clades does this organism most likely belong?
