उत्तर
- Peripatus is the connecting link between two different groups - Annelida and Arthropoda.
- It shows annelid-like characters such as segmented body, thin cuticle, and parapodia-like organs.
- It also shows arthropod-like characters such as tracheal respiration and open circulatory system.
Therefore, Peripatus is said to be the connecting link between Annelida and Arthropoda.

(a) asymmetric organs
(b) analogous organs
(c) homologous organs
(d) homophonic organs
X, Y, and Z are three animals. The animal X can fly but animal Y can only run on ground or walls. The forelimbs of animals X and Y have the same basic design but they are used for different purposes such as flying and running respectively. The animal Z became extinct an long time ago. The study of fossils of Z tells us that it had some features like those of X and some like those of Y. In fact, Z is said to form a connecting link in the evolutionary chain of X and Y.
(a) What could the animals X, Y and Z be?
(b) What name is given to the forelimbs like those of X and Y which have the same basic design but different functions?
(c) Name one feature in which Z resembled X.
(d) Name one feature in which Z resembled Y.
(e) Which is the correct evolutionary chain involving X, Y and Z : X → Z → Y or Y → Z → X?
