Animal Kingdom: NEET questions with solutions
This chapter tests the basis of classification (organisation level, symmetry, germ layers, coelom, segmentation, notochord) and the salient features of each phylum and chordate class. NEET marks are lost on assigning excretory organs or symmetry to the wrong phylum and on exceptions such as crocodile hearts or egg-laying mammals.
Also called: animal classification · phylum chordata · non-chordates
