Question
Read the following statement and justify same in your own words with the help of suitable example.
There is evidences of fatal science among chordates.
Solution
- It is believed chordates have originated from invertebrates.
- It is difficult to find out from which invertebrate group the chordates were developed.
- Chordate ancestors were soft bodied animals, hence they were not preserved as fossils.
- Thus, there is evidence of fatal science among chordates.

There are five animals A, B, C, D and E. The animal A uses its modified forelimbs for flying. The animal B uses its forelimbs for running whereas the animal C uses its forelimbs for grasping.
