The correct Answer is:
To determine which organism has a circular and suctorial mouth, we can analyze the options provided step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks which organism possesses a circular and suctorial mouth. This type of mouth is typically adapted for suction feeding. 2. **Analyzing Option 1: Labio**: - The labio (Labio roita) is known to have pharyngeal teeth located in the dorsolateral wall. - It does not have a circular or suctorial mouth; instead, it has jaws and palates that are adentulous (without teeth). - **Conclusion**: This option is incorrect. 3. **Analyzing Option 2: Patromyzon**: - Patromyzon, which refers to lampreys, is known for having a circular and suctorial mouth. - Their mouth is adapted for sucking blood from their host, which is characteristic of this group. - **Conclusion**: This option is correct. 4. **Analyzing Option 3: Squalidon**: - Squalidon refers to a group of extinct sharks. - They have a mouth located on the ventral side and are bounded by jaws, which does not fit the description of a circular and suctorial mouth. - **Conclusion**: This option is incorrect. 5. **Analyzing Option 4: All of the Above**: - Since we have already determined that only Patromyzon has a circular and suctorial mouth, this option cannot be correct. - **Conclusion**: This option is incorrect. ### Final Answer: The correct answer is **Option 2: Patromyzon**.
