Which one of the following pairs about organ /part that helps in locomotion is not correctly matched?
General KnowledgeBiology
- AEuglena : Flagellum
- BParamecium : Cilia
- CNereis : Pseudopodia
- DStarfish : Tubefeet
Explanation
Euglena swims using a flagellum, Paramecium using cilia and starfish using tube feet — all correctly matched. Nereis, a polychaete worm, moves with parapodia (fleshy lateral appendages), not pseudopodia, which are the temporary projections of Amoeba. Hence the Nereis–pseudopodia pair is the one not correctly matched.
