Which of the following is a group of primitive vertebrates having a large jawless sucking mouth, no limbs or paired fins and a
completely cartilaginous skeleton with a persistent notochord?
Cyclostomata
Aschelminthes
Hemichordata
Arthropoda
Let’s break it down:
- Cyclostomata:
- These are jawless vertebrates like lampreys and hagfish.
- They have a round, sucking mouth, no jaws, no paired fins or limbs.
- The skeleton is entirely cartilage, with a notochord that sticks around for life.
- They’re primitive, kind of eel-shaped, basically living fossils.
- Aschelminthes:
- This group is made up of roundworms.
- No backbone, they’re non-chordates.
- Definitely don’t fit the vertebrate, jawless fish description.
- Hemichordata:
- These are worm-like marine animals.
- Not true vertebrates; more related to echinoderms.
- They don’t have sucking mouths or real skeletons.
- Arthropoda:
- Think insects, crabs, spiders—creatures with exoskeletons and jointed legs.
- Zero notochord, zero vertebrate characteristics.
So when you’re talking about primitive vertebrates with a sucking jawless mouth and no limbs, Cyclostomata is the group. That’s the only answer that fits.
