AIIMS 2018 Biology Vertebrate Groups MCQ Question
Select the option with correct matching of animal group and its examples.
Mammalian-Platypus, Rattus, Camelus, Pavo
Aves-Neophron, Struthio, Sphenodon, Passer
Reptilia-Calotes, Heloderma, Uromastix, Draco
Amphibia-Bufo, Hyla, Rhacophorus, Ophiosaurus
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Option C is correct because it accurately lists members of the class Reptilia, which includes Calotes (a lizard), Heloderma (a venomous lizard), Uromastix (a spiny-tailed lizard), and Draco (a flying dragon lizard). In contrast, option A incorrectly includes Pavo (a bird) in the mammalian group, option B lists Sphenodon (a reptile) among birds, and option D includes Ophiosaurus, which is not an amphibian but rather a type of lizard. Understanding these classifications is crucial for recognizing the diversity of life forms and their evolutionary relationships.
