Multiple Choice Questions

Question 1: Which of the following statements is not correct about earthworm?
(a) It shows metamerism, and the number of segments varies from 100-120
(b) The first segment at the anterior end of the body is called as the ‘buccal segment’ or Peristomium
(c) The first segment is Prostomium
(d) The skin of earthworm is brown due to the presence of porphyrin
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (c) The first segment is Prostomium

Explanation:
1. Earthworm's first segment (peristomium) bears the mouth; the prostomium is a lobe above the mouth, not the first segment. The other statements are right.

Teacher's Note:
1. Prostomium is not a segment.

Question 2: The earthworms move with the help of
(a) Setae, muscles and hydrostatic skeleton
(b) Setae alone
(c) Muscles alone
(d) Parapodia
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (a) Setae, muscles and hydrostatic skeleton

Explanation:

Teacher's Note:
1. No parapodia in earthworm.

Question 3: In earthworm there is a ring of S-shaped setae, embedded in the epidermal pit at the middle of each segment, except
(a) First
(b) Last

(c) Genital papillae – Ventral surface of 17th & 19th segments
(d) Clitellum or Cingulum – 9th to 14th segment
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (d) Clitellum or Cingulum – 9th to 14th segment

Explanation:
1. The clitellum covers the 14th to 16th segments, not 9th to 14th, so (d) is the wrong match.

Teacher's Note:
1. Clitellum forms the cocoon.

(a) Chromophil cells
(b) Chloragogen cells
(c) Calciferous gland cells

(a) Excretion
(b) Enhances effective area of absorption after digestion
(c) Respiration
(d) Locomotion
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (b) Enhances effective area of absorption after digestion

Explanation:
1. The typhlosole, a median dorsal fold of the intestine from the 27th to the 95th segment, increases the absorptive area.

Teacher's Note:

Explanation:
1. Earthworm has a closed system, blood glands in segments 4, 5, 6 and four pairs of hearts in 7, 9, 12 and 13. The dorsal vessel has valves, so saying it has no valves is incorrect.

Teacher's Note:
1. Valves prevent backflow.

1. Two pairs of testes lie in the 10th and 11th segments.

Teacher's Note:
1. Ovaries in the 13th.

Question 10: During copulation in earthworms, sperms are transferred between copulating individuals from
(a) Female genital pore to spermathecae
(b) Male genital pores to spermathecae
(c) Spermathecae to cocoon
(d) Male genital pores to outside
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (b) Male genital pores to spermathecae

Explanation:
1. During copulation, sperms are exchanged from the male genital pores of each worm into the spermathecae of the other.

Teacher's Note:
1. Mutual exchange.

Question 11: All the following statements are correct about the reproductive system of earthworm, except
(a) Fertilization is external and cross fertilization
(b) There are two pairs of testes in 10th and 11th segments and one pair of ovaries attached at the intersegmental septum of 12th and 13th segment
(c) Accessory glands are present on the ventral surface of 17th and 19th segments
(d) Earthworm is unisexual
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (d) Earthworm is unisexual

Explanation:
1. Earthworm is hermaphrodite (monoecious), not unisexual; the other statements are correct.

Teacher's Note:
1. Cross fertilisation due to protandry.

Question 12: In Pheretima, clitellum is primarily meant for
(a) Burrowing
(b) Fertilisation

Teacher's Note:
1. Dorsal vessel carries blood forwards.

Question 15: Ventral surface of mature earthworm can be distinguished from dorsal surface by
(a) Absence of middorsal line
(b) Presence of clitellum
(c) Presence of genital papillae
(d) None of these
Show Answer & Explanation

(b) Ureotelic
(c) Uricotelic
(d) Ureotelic and ammonotelic
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (d) Ureotelic and ammonotelic

Explanation:
1. Earthworm excretes mainly ammonia when water is plentiful and urea when water is scarce, so it is both ammonotelic and ureotelic.

Teacher's Note:
1. Adapts to water.

Question 19: In Pheretima, pharyngeal nephridia occur in the segments
(a) 3, 4, 5
(b) 4, 5, 6
