AIIMS 2018 Biology Phylum Mammalia MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-conceptual-Easy-Class 11
The correct sequence of steps in a Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) cycle is:
A
B
C
D
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
Option A is correct because all the organisms listed—Balaenoptera (whales), Delphinus (dolphins), Rattus (rats), and Felis (cats)—belong to the phylum Chordata, characterized by the presence of a notochord, dorsal nerve cord, and pharyngeal slits at some stage of development. In contrast, option B is incorrect as it includes Euspongia, Scypha, and Pennatula, which belong to different phyla; Euspongia and Scypha are in the phylum Porifera (sponges), while Pennatula is in the phylum Cnidaria (soft corals). Understanding these classifications helps in recognizing the evolutionary relationships among various organisms.
