  1. Sharks

  2. Whale

  3. Lizard

  4. Frog

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:
  • The heart pumps only impure blood in sharks. Sharks have a two-chambered heart which is an S-shaped tube. It has an atrium and ventricle. The blood is pumped by the heart through the afferent branchial arteries to capillaries in the gills, where the blood is oxygenated). 
  • The blood then flows through efferent branchial arteries, through the tissues of the body, and back to the heart in veins. Sharks have low blood pressures; the walls of the pericardium are rigid, creating suction within the pericardium to maintain the flow of blood. To circulate blood throughout their bodies, many sharks must swim continuously. 
  • The blood flow is similar to humans because blood is pumped by the heart to the rest of the body by arteries and returned to the heart by veins. 
  • A difference is that humans have 4-chambered hearts while sharks only have two chambers.

  1. Amphibians

  2. Bony fish

  3. Fish

  4. Shark

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Viviparous sharks give birth to live young. The number of pups in a litter ranges from 2-20 or more. For example, the Bull sharks, Whitetip reef shark, Lemon shark, Blue shark, Mako, Porbeagle, Salmon shark, the Silvertip shark, and Hammerheads.

Amphibians are oviparous because the young hatch after the egg is laid.
Bony fish and fish are oviparous in nature.
