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.

There are five animals A, B, C, D and E. The animal A uses its modified forelimbs for flying. The animal B uses its forelimbs for running whereas the animal C uses its forelimbs for grasping. The animal D can live on land as well as in water and uses its forelimbs to prop up the front end of its body when at rest. The animal E which respires by using spiracles and tracheae uses wings for flying but its wings are analogous to the modified forelimbs of animal A.
(a) What could the animals A, B, C, D and E be?
(b) Why are the forelimbs of animals A, B, C, D called homologous organs?
(c) What does the existence of homologous organs in animals A, B, C and D tell us about their ancestors ?
(d) Why are the modified forelimbs of animal A and the wings of animal E called analogous organs?
(e) State whether animals A and E have a common ancestor or not.
