Question
Give scientific reason.
Peripatus is said to be the connecting link between Annelida and Arthropoda.
Solution
- 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.

X, Y, and Z are three animals. The animal X can fly but animal Y can only run on ground or walls. The forelimbs of animals X and Y have the same basic design but they are used for different purposes such as flying and running respectively. The animal Z became extinct an long time ago. The study of fossils of Z tells us that it had some features like those of X and some like those of Y. In fact, Z is said to form a connecting link in the evolutionary chain of X and Y.
(a) What could the animals X, Y and Z be?
(b) What name is given to the forelimbs like those of X and Y which have the same basic design but different functions?
(c) Name one feature in which Z resembled X.
(d) Name one feature in which Z resembled Y.
(e) Which is the correct evolutionary chain involving X, Y and Z : X → Z → Y or Y → Z → X?
